Success. Overall, the night was a success. Were there things that could have been better? Of course, yes. I would have liked the skin of the chicken crispier. Someone suggested, too, that there could have been more rosemary in the Blood Orange Gin Sparkler (recipe here). But guess what? We did it. We pulled it off. Inclement weather and everything.
These supper club events are helping me understand that people want to connect. Every time my team and I host an event, it's so amazing the me how some of the most unlikely people, people who normally wouldn't talk to each other, close their normal barriers and allow someone different in...even if just that evening. These are the most special moments to watch. I love that.
I know my team and I made the right decision to go ahead with the event. Why? Because as my friend, Kevin Shinn said in his blog today (The Sustained Chef), "you make a decision and you make it right." We made it right yesterday, as evidenced by the 19 people who showed up, ready to eat, drink and be merry. For that, and maybe that alone, I'm glad.
