Ambassadors,
I hope you all enjoyed the chill in the air this morning like I did. Fall is finally here and the chefs are excited for you to try their latest menu which officially launched on Wednesday.
New fall menu details and Layla’s great pics here>
Are you a fan of good Q?
You might want to check out Local Three’s latest Sunday night pop up concept called Worldwide Barbecue Emporium. I went with the family recently and we were all blown away. The positive feedback has been effusive. Check it out if you want a break from Ramen.
The Giving Kitchen & Staplehouse news
–Hidi’s Pumpkin Patch is back again to raise money for TGK and with pumpkins from Our Giving Garden which is right off Cooper Lake Rd.
-TGK just passed 1,251 grants since inception five years ago which is just hard to comprehend.
-SH now open on Sundays so that means six nights a week. Also, if you’ve not checked out their new cocktail bar, called Paper Crane Lounge, it is a great way to experience Staplehouse food and drink without a reso and full tasting menu commitment.
Bread for the head is a recommended book.
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown
This is a NYT & WSJ bestseller I first tore through in a few days during the summer of 2014 and one I am constantly revisiting, thinking about and recommending. If you are someone often finding yourself overwhelmed in the weeds of life, caused by ambition in the well-intentioned pursuit of perceived success, you may feel like Mr. McKeown wrote it for you.
Distillation of key points for my fellow “Cliff Note” folks.
Two great favorite quotes from the book.
“We can either make our choices deliberately or allow other people’s agendas to control our lives.”
“It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.”
Recent NYT Article about Rory McIroy that talks about the impact this book has had on structuring his life.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you for all your support of M&T and L3!
To great food, drink & people,
Ryan
