    I get this a lot when I make pasta in the shop or the girls are making gnocchi, but we are doing it expecting to be seen. It’s performative and customers like to watch us do it because it signifies that what we’re making is fresh or traditional. It’s a bit different if you’re not expecting to be watched by curious onlookers.

      thank you, I haven’t considered that angle. I definitely don’t expect it though and quite honestly I’m put off by it.
