A moment of relaxation, stimulating conversation and exchanges of our deepest thoughts and visions for the future. It also gave each of us a chance to see another market and experience concepts and cuisine in another competitive environment. What a great way to learn and grow professionally. I know they take a lot of effort and are never easy to organize or execute. Thank you for your hard work and patience with all of us.
Independent restaurateurs are often opinionated and very head strong.
I eagerly await the announcement of Rad2 as I surely plan to attend. Thanks for your comments, Hap. While I suspect the Rad1 group will tend to stick together from year to year, I am taking a lot of your ideas and suggestions to heart as I structure future gatherings. A point I failed to mention in my brief Rad1 report on Page 3 was that spouses were invited to attend the meal functions. It is certainly worth a modest subscription price, however, I would encourage you to speak with American Express and incorporate your letter with the American Express Briefings publication in some manner.
