Last stew of the season? Dinner ingredients. I didn't omit the figs even though the look of them upsets me. #dinnertime #dinnerlab #dinners #cooking #cook #cookpad #ingredients #ingredientsmatter #ingredientswithpurpose #food #foodshare #foodpassion #dinnerflow #eat #chicken

From one of my favorite Instagram feeds. Check out that amazing steak. I really need to get to NYC again for so many reasons! 🔥 Pic taken by @jeaniuseats : Major #MeatCrushMonday tonight at @donangienyc! Loved this tender #PrimeRib Braciole stuffed w/ parmigiano, roasted garlic & bread crumbs, topped w/ broccoli rabe & roasted peppers, and served w/ a side of polenta rossi! Congrats to the dynamic duo @angela_rito & @stacinelli (formerly of @qualityitalian & @dinnerlab) on the opening of their dream Italian Restaurant in the #WestVillage! I knew their pastas would be amazing but every dish was impressive, along w/ the drinks, service, and ambiance! There's so much ❤️ here, I have no doubt their new home will be a huge success! 👏👏 🔥 You ready to take your Instagram game to another level? Are you ready to make serious cash?

Thank you Dinner Lab.

This was found on Dinner Lab’s website/blog. I wanted to say Thank you to Dinner Lab for introducing me to the public, but also to some incredible people I met and got to work with though this forum, that I am continuing to build relationships with and to collaborate with.  The Chefs crew that backed me up was incredible, as well as the entire FOH crew with bar. I am going to continue to do, what I have set out to do. I only have to compete with myself each and everyday, is something that I learned a long time ago. 

Thank You!

Members of Dinner Lab

Three-and-a half years ago a few of us came up with a novel idea; bring together random people, in an unconventional location, and give an up-and-coming chef a chance. The idea was meant to be pretty simple - give a newcomer, an underdog, someone that no one else believed in yet, a platform to showcase their culinary talent to the world. We have always wanted to be an organization that rolled the dice on people and innovative concepts before the rest of the world took them seriously.

We thought that the restaurant industry often took safe bets. We wanted to up the ante, and bet hard on experimentation, iteration, data, and the fact that there should be an open dialogue between diner and chef. We tried to blur the lines, push the envelope, and propel an industry that we loved forward. We did this not for the sake of being novel, but because we thought that guests should be a part of the culinary process; not as receivers of a finished product, but part of the development.

It is with a very heavy heart that we have to tell you, but effective immediately, Dinner Lab will be suspending operations and halting events.

We put every ounce of our energy into developing a product that you wanted to engage with regularly, but we weren't able to turn the corner on creating a profitable enough enterprise to support our ambitions. We have been fortunate to attend countless dinners in cities all over the United States, and engage with thousands of our diners, chefs, and staff who have worked tirelessly for us over the years. We are proud of the work that we have done, and am saddened by the fact that we no longer get to make our living on providing you all the experiences that we love so dearly. We have always considered ourselves to be part of the fortunate few that get to make their living on great food and drinks.

We have always believed in three very simple ingredients for the perfect night that we think are important to highlight:

People - One of the things that we’re the proudest of is the fact that so many of you have formed new friendships along different age, race, and cultural lines that don’t typically exist in the real world. For those of you that e-mailed us that you met your husband/wife, best friend, colleague, business partner, etc. at our events, it will be one of the memories that we will take with us for the rest our lives.

Places - So many of you opened your doors to us, and allowed our company and guests the opportunity to interact with your businesses and homes. You were able to imagine a different usage of your space, and invited 120 complete strangers into your world, and we were able to get a glimpse, and if only for a little bit, shift our perspective on what can/should happen where.

Chefs - So many of you poured your hearts and souls to our company and members and shared deeply personal, experimental, and progressive ideas with the world. Some of these ideas worked and others were huge learning experiences. For those of you that have moved on from our ranks and are opening new restaurants and running other organizations, we are proud to have touched your life in some way.

We hope that you all continue to break bread with random strangers, and thank you all deeply for being a part of something special.
