Tasting Menu

When I am lucky enough to frequent a high-end restaurant, I always opt for the tasting menu. My fellow diners are often quick to point out the consequences of such a decision -- the necessity of full table participation, the inability to select specific dishes, and the inevitable high price point.  Yet despite the accuracy of these criticisms, I am rarely swayed in my conviction. Why might you ask?  When I am lucky enough to frequent a high-end restaurant, I want to try as much as humanly possible.

Consider this blog to be your tasting menu.  Throughout the course of this semester, I will offer my insights into the future of the restaurant industry with a particular focus on issues related to the collection and analysis of data. Participation is not required but certainly encouraged and yes, substitutions are available.  On behalf of all of the wonderful people who have helped to shape my thinking, welcome to my kitchen.

And for your amuse-bouche this evening...
