"You might not get a hug, but you’ll likely want to give one."

(video is from NewsOk.com - more info can be found to go with it as well by clicking above) At Cafe Evoke Catering, we fully believe in the relationships coffee generously allows us to be a part of. The product itself is a living thing that takes real people from all over the world working together so that we all can enjoy what we have grown to be so fond of. It really is an amazing thing. Well, as coffee is to us, so is food to my great friends over at Table One in Oklahoma City. As you saw in the video (STOP! You did not view it yet? Go back and watch it, then read on!), these two guys are creating something that is more than just food, more than something slopped on a plate, passed around and tagged a meal. At Table One, the whole dining experience has been deconstructed, an inversion of the relationship between diner and chef. And when it’s over, you’ll take home memories to mark time, and two new friends. We love to see this happening across our city as we know it has been happening across the country (and world for that matter). These are two people taking on a challenge bigger than anything they have ever taken on - to weld a passion for their art and craft with the passion to create a bond with their guests that leaves them excited to talk about it. As I have talked about before, I like to see a group that is taking every part of their craft seriously. As you may have noticed in the video, Table One tops everything off at the end with a very nice press or vacuum pot of freshly roasted coffee from our other great friends at Elemental Coffee Roasters also based here in Oklahoma City. In short, the experience you get by watching them create your meal and seeing the passion they put in to every part of the night really is summed up in a quote I found at the end of this piece: "You might not get a hug, but you’ll likely want to give one." Here is a great article about the two that talks more about what they are doing and why. Here is more useful information about Table One: →Information or reservations: 607-8131. →Dress: Whatever you’re comfortable in. →Prices: Start at $75 per person for 2 to 14 people. Price varies based on number of courses and size of party. If nothing else, go for the coffee! Even the toughest of coffee critics will walk away happy! ...be bold Tagged: cafe evoke catering, Oklahoma City, coffee catering, Table One Add us on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter!
