I came back from a buddhist retreat earlier this year and learned a lot about myself, the most important thing being that life is too short to not do what you love. If you’re the intended audience for this message, you follow the mantra: “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs – ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.†You’ve been making it there (and by postulate, could be making it anywhere) and still found time to pursue your true passion; the creation and appreciation of fine food.
It is out of this love for fine dining that 93 Plates was born. January has thirty-one days; we try to eat three meals a day; over the course of the month, we’ll all eat ninety-three meals (maybe we’ll only make dinner on New Year’s Day, but I digress). The idea for 93 Plates NYC sprung from my two prior marathon restaurant projects: 24 in 24 Boston and DC. It’s something fun, something novel, something unusual that will bring together more people who share the same passions I do, hopefully bringing together some of those who may have been admirers of each other’s work who’ve never actually met in real life. read more . . .
