The Neighborhood Magic That Began at One Table

It started with one table.

When I made the decision to move to Dallas in 2010, I was ready for a change. Specifically, as a young professional caught up in the hustle, I wanted to focus more on being than on doing. And as I thought about the moments when I felt most alive, I kept noticing the joy I experienced when I had the opportunity to gather people around a table and share a meal. So I had this crazy idea to serve 500 people at my home, within the year, to share meals together. Toward that end, I asked my father to build a long handcrafted table around which I’d gather guests.
