Take part in art!

No, chefs aren’t artists. But, yes, food can be art too. But this art only begins beyond eating! When a restaurant is no longer just a social gathering place, when its food is no longer just a menu of wishes, when those wishes are no longer just dishes, when the kitchen is no longer just about chefs fulfilling the wishes of their guests, when service is no longer just waiting staff who serve guests, who, ultimately, are no longer just guests. And when even the best female chef in the world is not an artist, a star, an influencer, but… a mother.

Her children have already grown up and are part of this superb show, which isn’t a show, but rather a performance, and it doesn’t only have 40 ‘performers’ who sit down together twice a day to eat their mother’s lunch, and then at a working meeting thereafter, they say in unison: “Hello, chef!” … In this performance of culinary art, you must also actively participate too!

So, forget that you are having lunch or dinner, that you are in a restaurant, that you would like to have your photo taken with Ana Roš, that you spent a long time choosing and saving up for this visit, and even forget that you like to eat and drink. Rather than all this, actively participate in the performance, so that your visit will be a celebration, even if you first have to wash yourself in the moss, then quench your thirst with peels on the lawn, and then gather around the table for a few hours listening, watching, smelling, biting, swallowing, and do so using only a spoon or sometimes just your hands. Take part in art!
