| copy | They asked me to write about myself and my book, so here goes: I started a restaurant called de Gustibus with two of my friends. We named it that because you really can't discuss taste. We're very popular with young business types because we're young business types ourselves. Whenever we tried to go out to eat in a group we always got into these long tiresome negotiations: I just ate Italian, or I ate Greek yesterday, or I NEVER eat anything that's not organic! Inefficient. Not what business needs today. So, it came to us that we needed a restaurant we could all go to every day and not eat the same thing twice in a row maybe for a year! We thought, Hey, why make people choose one kind of restaurant over another, when what they really want is a different kind of food? At de Gustibus you can eat Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian, Tasmanian, Iranian, and on and on all at the same time. You never have to choose. You can even mix and match! We just pooled our recipes, opened the doors, and never looked back. We're a big hit, what can I say? My recipes in Sushi, Anyone? are used at de Gustibus. They satisfy crowds for us every day. They will work for you, too. Period! |
