So here is an alternate viewpoint: working at an exec level – and this was true when I was inside companies, even more so as a consultant – while eating only kosher is extraordinarily challenging. Even if I bring my own food – and I often do – or meet for breakfast, where there is always cereal, milk and fresh fruit, or meet in cities where there are kosher options (midtown NYC, LA, some parts of DC, Toronto, downtown Boston), it has an impact on your ability to do business and connect. In my earlier years as a consultant, my biggest roadblock was my lack of knowledge of how to sell. As I progressed, lack of ability to connect over steak or seafood is even bigger.

All I can say is… thank God and man for beer.

But what the hell do I really know… I’m just a consultant.

NY’ers are spoiled by great food and fab people to eat it with. Ideas and flavors mix well.

I will tell The Boss to get to Chicago when the snow melts. He only likes snow for skiing.

Great trip report. New York is amazing for food. 10-20 years ago, San Francisco used to beat NYC. Not anymore. SF stagnated, whereas NYC roared. But, what do I know, I’m just a food snob.

The Boss needs to make a trip to Chicago. Best food town in America, at a reasonable price.
