Some people run restaurants. Danny Meyer built a philosophy. The legendary @dhmeyer joins @BigShotPodcast this week. We talk family, entrepreneurship and the art of hospitality. One of my favourite conversations ever.

Spent a good chunk of the last month organizing Hello World - was awesome to hear from founders of our top customers and meet people excited about agents and infra
You showed up, and SF threw in fireworks. We planned a lot for Hello, World! That part was a bonus for us, too.

SF restaraunt review: this time, Niku - a one Michelin star Japanese wood-fired steakhouse I had the tortelloni with pickled black trumpet mushrooms, dungeness crab rice, and the A5 Bushu For the steak they bring an assortment of knives to choose from - fun! Finally for dessert the crème fraîche ice cream

Tonight in NYC I went to the newly opened HUMM by Daniel Humm (of Eleven Madison Park fame). The interior is awesome with a main dining area, lounge, and bar (it’s the old EN Japanese Brasserie space). Unlike EMP there’s a ton of meat options: hot dogs, fried chicken, crab, duck, lobster. Overall I’d say the food is good not great and the interior and atmosphere outdoes it. Hard to compete in such a food-strong neighborhood. Bonus points for matchsticks.

One more SF restaraunt review before heading back to NYC for the week Last night I went to San Ho Won, a traditional Korean BBQ spot that uses specially produced lychee wood in their charcoal grill Sat at the bar/chefs counter I had the galbi mandu - pancaked beef dumplings, beef tartare with Asian pear, and the double cut galbi - a 16oz prime beef short rib that’s been brushed with marinade before going into the charcoal grill. Sweet, super tender, and great with the ssamjang and gosujang sauces Also they had matchbooks at the host stand, which are essential, and will be added to my ever growing collection

Another SF restaurant review, this time: Cotogna Cotogna is one of my favorite restaraunts in SF. Pasta is great, atmosphere and service is even better. Sit outside and you get a blanket and heated seating. Hard to get a res but just walk in and you’ll get bar seats or outdoor 9/10 times.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t seen the inside of Drake’s house
Why is nobody making more boring stuff for rich people. Why isn’t there a popular brand of $5k fridges and $10k dishwashers , and $20k washing machines. I’m sure enough people would happily pay There are tonnes of people who need help spending money.

there’s a stage of friendship where someone opens the wrong cabinet in your kitchen without asking, closes it, and keeps looking

I first met Josh 5 years ago when he was building Mentum - a kiosk system for restaurants. We quickly became friends - citibiking home at 2am after karaoke Incredibly excited about how far he's come and what he's building with Mecka
