They'd been to all the fanciest restaurants and now 11 Madison Park.
It was the trip of a lifetime.
But then a woman at the table jumped in and said, yeah, but we never got to have a New York City hot dog.
And it was like one of those light bulb moments in a cartoon where, you know, the characters had a good idea.
I went back into the kitchen, dropped off the plates, ran outside of the hot dog cart, bought a hot dog, ran back inside.
Then came the hard part, convincing my fancy chef to serve it in our fancy restaurant.
But I got him to trust me and eventually he cut it up into four perfect pieces, put one on each of the plates, put a little swish of ketchup, a swish of mustard, a little scoop of sauerkraut, one of relish, topped it off with a micro herb or something to make it look fancy.
And then before their final savory course, which at the time was our honey lavender glazed Muscovy duck that had been dry aged for two weeks.
I brought out what we in New York call a dirty water dog to the table.
And I explained it.
I said, hey, I overheard you talking.
I did not want you to go home with regrets.
Here's that hot dog.
And holla, they freaked out.
At that point, I'd served, over the course of my career, tens of millions of dollars of caviar and lobster, whatever.
I'd never seen anyone react the way they did to that hot dog.
And really, all that went into it happening were three things.
One,
Being present at the table, which I defined as caring so much about the one person in front of you that you just stop caring about everything else you need to do and everyone else in the room.
And that's hard for a lot of people to do.
