A long, noisy table

It begins with a white tablecloth, unfurled in an unexpected location: industrial warehouse, barn, street corner. The table is set in high wabi-sabi, all mismatched china and patinated silver. The curtain rises on the key elements:

Sincere food, brought out in courses. Handmade fare curated by season, by place, by theme (obscure holiday, art movement, philosopher’s birthday).

Opinionated wines, paired to provoke, to cheer, to enlighten.

Savory culture: music, film, performances, readings, spontaneous outbreaks.

Expansive time: half the day at table remembering we’re alive, and that it's a collaborative project.

This is our idea of the good life. On the right kind of planet it happens naturally, all the time. The Cordial is an edible manifesto.
