Holy Foodies!
I really love winning things. In fact, I love winning things so much that after an epic battle with my five-year-old nephew over a game of Sorry! I’m no longer allowed to play board games with my siblings’s children. But while awards are nice, what means the most to me is when I win something from actual people who paid actual money to eat at Dirt Candy and had so much fun that they pass on the recommendation to their friends. So I’m really psyched that Open Table, the national online reservation system, has gone through 7 million votes cast by diners and selected Dirt Candy as one of only five restaurants in NYC (and one of 50 across the country) that score highest in their “Fit for foodies” category. The other New York City restaurants are Anita Lo’s Annisa, Dan Barber’s Blue Hill, Iacopo Falai’s Falai down on the Lower East Side, and its neighbor, Wylie Dufresne’s wd-50.

So thank you for everyone who voted. Between this and the Michelin Guide thing today has been the kind of day when owning a restaurant feels like fun, rather than work.

It’s a Two Pandas kind of day.
