What is a chef's responsibility?

Shuna's excellent post on What is a chef's responsibility? One of her many nuggets of wisdom:

"Learning about food and cooking is a continuous process. It's about developing, arguing about, stealing, rethinking and having opinions. Straight up, with no god damned ice opinions. It's reading, eating out, experimenting, taking notes, asking questions, using the same foods season after season, struggling, spending hours in the cookbook section of various bookstores, traveling, and inspiring others.  Being a chef is a verb. As is love."
