Summary of Danny Meyer's Setting the Table - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I've learned more about life from people than from books. I'm on the road a lot, and when I travel, I visit food markets, pastry shops, butchers, and grocery stores. I read menus posted outside restaurants. I watch the residents argue back and forth with the merchants over the virtues of their wares. #2 I have always been curious about what people eat, and as I grew up, I developed a fascination with food.
I would swap and share sandwiches with other kids at school, not because the other kids' lunches were better, but because this was the best way to learn about another family. #3 I have a passion for discovering the best food and restaurants, and I have applied this passion to the restaurant business. I have a list of ten things that can be expected from an Indian restaurant in New York, and then I ask myself what Tabla might add to these expectations. #4 My parents, Roxanne and Morton Louis Meyer, had spent the first two years of their marriage in the early 1950s living in the city of Nancy, capital of the French province of Lorraine, where my dad was posted as an army intelligence officer.
