Two weeks and good peeps

It’s been a little quiet around here. For the last few months I’ve taken a step back from the supper clubs and poured effort into something a little different. This is Collins House—a yearly gathering in Cannes during the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity—and I’m deeply proud of what the team pulled together this year. Like everything else on this page, the idea has always been gathering good people, good ideas, and great craft in one place. Food, of course, always has a role to play. But it’s been fun to test what else can get people to sit down across from each other, look someone else in the eye and forget that their phone is in their pocket.

At @thisiscollins (where I work for those of you I don’t get to catch up with) everything I do is done in tandem with @alex.athana . None of this would be possible without him. 

Same to @lelandmaschmeyer @brianthomascollins @mj003 @ronniemadra @arb3n and our amazing producer this year @iamlillacsonka 

Thanks for letting me put some non-food things on your timeline. Now, back to our irregularly scheduled programming.

LP16 Part I - Memory

Applewood Manor, a historic Bed & Breakfast in Asheville, North Carolina, welcomed us to cook one of the last dinners they’ll ever serve for guests before they close to the public this Fall. To do it in a house with over a hundred years of history in its walls was an honor. 

For half of our team, this was a homecoming to North Carolina and for Seb, this menu was the product of a lifelong friendship between him and our host chef at Applewood, Vitor Schizzi. And his relationship with every LP team member who joined, all of whom are close friends. And, for that matter, even the menu was a reflection of his relationship with Asheville’s farmers (Thank you @gainingground!!) and his summers planting and harvesting vegetables. 

In other words, this was a dinner fueled by memory and nostalgia — dishes, flavors and ingredients that have stayed with us, all served in a historic home to old friends (and several of our parents!). 

The chefs used the best of summer’s provisions, touching almost every dish with fire and putting together a menu we were incredibly proud to serve. 

And damn was it fun to do so.
