The Setting

Quite candidly, the setting - environment - if your will (and you will), really doesn't matter. Bring on the formal dining experience and the casual picnic. We welcome it all. Fancy-pants mood lighting from the latest hot Scandinavian designer? Oh yes (but small doses please)! Sticky, half-melted candles rescued from the back of the pantry? Of course. Aunt Bessie's kitchen tomato stained table? Naturally. Indoor and outdoor, potluck and prix-fixe, wine and beer pairings and a good old-fashioned glass of cold milk.

All that is truly important is that folks are somewhere that they can come together and share a bite. Because, as we all know, that one bite represents who we are, where we came from, and maybe even a little bit about where we are headed.
