My new project - YellowHouse

[JohnnyChance]

In Oslo we have a restaurant that have only one dish on the menu.

They have 3 shuffleboards for entertainment, lots of beer and the dish Boiling Pot - made of crabs, shrimps, sausage, potato and corn.

If you dont have to much space you can make an insane great boiling pot, that everybody wants to taste. This way its cheap to get started, and you can become famous at once. Low price as well, and have private arrangements for companies and special events

Just meant as an input to your plan my friend
At least keep as few dishes as posible on the menu. Be great at what you know, dont be avarage on everything .)

It isn't a restaurant, just a dinner party like you would have for friends. Instead of friends, it is a group of strangers who sign up to attend the dinner via email. Each event will have a different menu.

That sounds like a really fun project!

First menu is done!

What is EVOO? Is that a molecular gastronomy thing?!






Just kidding. The menu looks great! I will has the lamb, plz.

[JohnnyChance]

Haha, my friend Ed wrote that. Evoo was kitchen shorthand long before RR popularized it.

No choices! You get everything!

We had our first dinner last night, and it went great! Better than I even hoped. Everything was awesome, the food, the decor, the atmosphere. Our guests were genuinely blown away, and I am stoked it went so well. Can't wait for the next one!

Dinner is served, everyone is eating.


The lighting was perfect. Industrial fixtures and edison bulbs gave just enough light and a warm glow.


See what I am talkin about?
