✦ team
two people,
a suitcase of knives,
a lot of borrowed kitchens.
The club is a small thing, run by a small number of people. This is who they are.
✦ the rest of the crew
small team. loud opinions.

chef · founder
Jason
Cooks. Teaches. Writes the recipes. Burns the first batch half the time. The long story is in the letter on the landing page. Short version: he left the restaurants, rented out the apartment, and started cooking from wherever we happen to be.

Been with me since my last company. Answers the emails I forget about. Runs the shoot calendar. Knows what timezone we're in before I do. Most of what ships on time ships because of her.

gigi, behind the lens
producer · shoots everything
Gigi
From Indonesia. We met by chance. Lucky enough to hire him. He shoots everything. Classes, dispatches, the quiet kitchen moments. Loves cars more than most people love their family.

✦ and roughly every other week
a guest chef, from the place they're from.
Apple in Bangkok. Prassad in Pune. Harita-san in Yunotsu. An 80-year-old miso-maker on the Izu Peninsula. They teach from their kitchens, on their terms, and they get paid directly. 50/50 on tips and class fees. The roster changes every time we move.
that's the team. come cook with us.
One dollar for the first month. Cancel whenever. No hard feelings.
