Sitka Platters

In an episode of “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” the lead, Kimmy, takes issue with the phrase “The World Is Your Oyster.” An unsophisticated white girl from Indiana who has lived in an underground bunker for the last 10 years, “Why can’t the world be my noodles and butter?” she asks. I hear you, Kimmy. I’d live on top of spaghetti if I could. But after spending an afternoon with chef Edith Johnson as she rolls out homemade fettuccine that melts in your mouth, I’m not sure noodles and butter will suffice anymore.
