Learn Where the Meat Comes From
1976

A person with curly hair is holding a small golden trophy, smiling and looking slightly away from the camera. They are wearing a light purple shirt with a name badge and are in front of a blurred background that includes a sign with the text "HOTEL BACK." The image has a grainy, vintage quality, suggesting it might be a still from an older video or television broadcast.
