Looking to see if some of the DC-area KKF members may be interested in getting together at a car club shop event on March 28. The club event is from 9 am -2 pm. It would be a good opportunity for some of the area KKF members to meet each other, although the resturant pros I've already reached out to about this cannot attend, so it would mainly be us 'civilians'.
You can mill around in the shop and check out a couple dozen mainly German sports cars, including getting a look while they are up on lifts for inspection.
The shop owner also builds and installs brewery equipment, so there is a good tie-in with the food/ knife world.
Besides checking out/ learning about some cars, it would be a chance to show a little of the KKF world to another group that has had little exposure. Maybe have one table where each person can show off a knife or two, but nothing like the normal GTG knife amount due to the limited space.
While the shop typically provides some doughnuts/ bad coffee in the morning and grills some dogs/ burgers for lunch for the car club people, maybe a couple KKFers can jump in and man the grill. And if there is enough interest, maybe I can pick up something a little more interesting to grill for lunch.
This is a feeler at this point; I'd like to know the interest before talking with the shop owner. I'm 99% sure he'll be fully open to it, as it will give both his auto shop and brewery businesses a little exposure, but I'd still rather know we have enough interest to pull it off first.
Please let me know if this interests you. Thanks!
