If you ask him. Copeland still remembers the names and addresses of all the restaurants and establishments where he worked since his first job in Virginia kitchens at the age of 13. He moved to New York in the late 1940s. where he married Rita Copeland. an Irish immigrant. who was a waitress at a New Jersey restaurant where he worked. When Copeland arrived in New York. he thought. like many recent arrivals and immigrants that dream in our fine city today. that the streets in New York were paved with gold. He took any job he could. from dishwasher to bus boy to cook. Yet no matter where Calvin he was employed. he studied and watched the chefs and tried to pick up techniques.
