Preparing for the Night

What goes into a trip to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare

I'd like to start off by saying yes, I am still here. Things have been understandably busy since I last made a post—I’ve just completed my first semester back in school, am fostering a young startup, working a demanding day job, and trying to have a life aside. This does not mean I have stopped eating, stopped enjoying nights out at fantastic restaurants, or stopped expanding my food knowledge while showing my passion for all things food… I’ve just stopped writing about them. Yet something happened today that hopefully changes all that; I got a reservation at Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, Brooklyn’s only three Michelin star rated restaurant.

I’ve had the good fortune and opportunity to dine at a good deal of three Michelin star restaurants in my life, many right here in New York City, but I’ve been especially looking forward to going to Chef’s Table. Like a teenager waiting for their acceptance letter from their favorite university, I waited for my fate whenever I attempted to get a reservation. My hopes were dashed every time I called and was met with the all too clear, “I’m sorry…” Hoping to find a great restaurant to try for my upcoming birthday I tested my luck again—persistence conquers all.

The upcoming blog posts will stage my night, what I personally go through waiting to have an experience unlike any other in the field I both work in and love. I’m sure I am not alone in my planning and preparation for a big night, but I do not doubt I take things a step further than most. Maybe I will give fellow foodies around the world a comparable checklist for their own big nights, or maybe I’ll just give a little insight into my mind. At any rate, I hope it’s entertaining.
