a letter from the table

A note
before
we sit.

We started Long Table in a borrowed kitchen, with six chairs carried up the stairs, and the conviction that an evening is more than food.

Three years on, two thousand strangers seated across nine cities. The chairs are sometimes the most important part.

This deck is our host handbook. Also, quietly, an invitation.
