Once seated, you’re told that the first series of courses will be bite-size treats intended to awaken the palate. “That’s where we attack you with lots of small servings,” is how Nutter describes the “snack” portion of the meal. Ours began with a playful surprise: The first course was tucked inside the table’s gorgeous and seemingly innocuous flower arrangement–flatbread shaped like the branch of a tree. This was followed quickly by, among other items, reindeer moss with mushroom powder; crispy pork skin with black currant Juice; barbecue carrots with sorrel sauce and hay ash; and smoked and pickled quail’s eggs (all of these dishes are pictured in the gallery above). … [Read more...] about How The Best Restaurant In The World Stays That Way

Stores are also using their ample parking lots to create loading areas where customers can pick up orders placed online without having to go into the store at all. This approach, Price notes, has some downsides, as workers are left to weave through rows of cars to find the correct recipient. A more orderly system is the fast-food-style drive-through, which Price says is beginning to be implemented at some Safeway locations and could be a permanent feature. “That will almost certainly over time start to change the way site organization and site entry works.” … [Read more...] about Grocery stores were already in flux. The pandemic could change them forever

Officially launched in 2020, one year after that initial meetup, Toronto-based Acid League offers a range of vinegar-based products, with a new release introduced weekly. Acid League debuted alongside fellow clever startups on the vinegar spectrum, including apple cider vinegar-powered prebiotic beverages from Poppi and specialty culinary vinegars from Ramp Up and TART. But Acid League stands out on its own by offering a bit of everything: living vinegar, experimental micro-batch vinegar, condiments, pickled products, shrubs, and what it calls Proxies, herbaceous nonalcoholic beverages inspired by zero-proof pairings at Noma restaurant in Copenhagen (a fellow pioneer in the fermentation space). … [Read more...] about Editor’s pick: This gourmet vinegar startup wants to be the Ben & Jerry’s of acids

One of the participants, named Ray, had been laid off a year earlier after decades working in construction and warehouses. He wanted to retrain for another career, but didn’t qualify for a government program that could have helped. When he couldn’t pay rent, he ended up in a homeless shelter, and even as he took on temporary jobs he couldn’t save up enough money to get a place of his own. The sudden gift of $7,500 from Foundations for Social Change changed everything: He was able to rent a room at an SRO (single-room occupancy) building and get training as a community service worker. … [Read more...] about Giving people money turns out to be an incredibly effective tool in ending homelessness

Last, to measure progress against this mission, and to know if customers are being served by the team’s existence, they need measures of success. Many companies would consider these objectives, as in a Management By Objectives (MBO) system or an Objectives and Key Results (OKR) system. Call it what you will, but I believe these should be relatively long-lived measurements that tell the story of progress toward the stated mission, versus objectives that change quarterly. For example, when our Infrastructure got started, our build system, which packages our code for deployment to servers, was horribly broken. It could take half a day to build and deploy our software, and half of the time the build would fail for unknown reasons. It was killing developer productivity. So the Infrastructure team took on a measure of “time from code check-in to deployment.” In the short term, it was clear they had some cleanup to do, but over the long term, this is a clear measure of … [Read more...] about The “dozen-bagel” secret to preserving startup spirit as your company grows
