“Everyone loves a good story. A good story educates, entertains and enchants its listeners — a good story can engage like nothing else. When it comes to dining out, stories can elevate a meal from an exercise in fulfilling a physiological need to a transcendental experience to remember.”

“The final plate that is presented in the “pass” to an expeditor is a culmination of the work of many proud practitioners of various crafts associated with food. It is the result of exceptional dedication and work on the part of the farmer, the fisherman, the rancher, and the cheese maker”. That finished dish that stands tall in “the pass” is not only signed by that line cook and approved by the expeditor – it is signed by every person who played a role in bringing that dish to this point.”

“I believe it makes the dining experience a lot more meaningful when you know the story behind the dish. The diner takes something back that he or she has never known before. It’s not that it makes someone clever; it makes someone aware.”
