All the Best Parties Happen in The Kitchen!

All the best parties happen in the kitchen. It’s simply fact. 

Think of the last great time you had with friends or family? Was there food involved? 

Of course there was, you’re not a monster. 

Food is integral to our lives in so many ways - from providing important nutrients, curing cravings, providing comfort and building memories. As the great Anthony Bourdain once said, “Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.”

But that’s the nature of food memories. They aren’t just based on the facts, or our need for survival, but are shaped by the context ― the company, the situation and the emotions involved. Food memories feel so nostalgic because there’s all this context of when you were preparing or eating the food, so the food almost becomes symbolic of other meaning.

When it comes to The Kitchen, Anne says “We all need food to survive, but how we share that food with others is what The Kitchen is really all about. Friendships are forged and differences forgotten because you have now had an experience with someone that allows you to understand them a little better, you’ve broken bread with them. That is what we hope to accomplish at the end of a dinner.” 

For all of us here, the best parties really do happen in the kitchen because that’s where all of the best memories are made.
