Yesterday I scattered sinks around Feast like a sink elf. Or a sink gnome. Or like the Johnny Appleseed of plumbing. Today I arrived to discover them mounted to the wall wherever I left them, as if a sink gnome had come and installed them. Or an elf. You get the picture.
Maybe the refrigeration guy can’t see the new curbs, but it looks like the new wine room ought to maintain a comfy 57 to 60 degrees, just like that cellar in France that your bottle of wine came from. Here’s the unit that makes it all happen.
The concrete’s coming so fast and furiously that a couple of extruded curbs hardly seems worth noting. In fact, today, the guy installing the refrigeration unit in the new wine room managed not to note the new curbs at all. The good news: he was not stuck; the bad: I think his employer might be […]
Apart from being one of my favorite books of all time, yesterday, we had just that: Light. In August. On August 31st, some uncomfortably warm people from Tucson Electric Power powered us up, as it were, and while there isn’t much to shine upon yet, it makes the beholding a whole lot easier.

While the bar at Feast bears great promise (Welcome, David and Don, to the bartending and table waiting staff of Feast), there’s always that issue of sitting at the bar: if there are more than two of you, you’re craning your neck like Nadia Comenici just to talk to your friends. Problem solved: New Feast […]
Here’s a quick break to talk about the restrooms. Plumbing’s been added. Tile’s been added. Tile’s been removed. Then it will be added again. After a slight miscommunication with the tile installers, the trim has been first installed and then removed from the walls in the restrooms, but by now you know how we feel […]
