Private dining events are becoming more popular as people feel less comfortable visiting restaurants.The chef-owner of Vancouver Private Dining, Evan Elman, says he’s slammed.His company has recently expanded with several new hires, services and partners .
“It’s just so incredibly different from being a restaurant chef. You’re working in someone’s private space. You’re dealing with their marble tabletops and fancy floors. You have to be poised, you have to have your mise en place organized and be tidy. There are no dish pits to dump everything. You cannot be on your phone or go for smokes. And if you break someone’s Miele oven, you’re liable.”Two weeks ago, Donna Burton, a health care worker, hired Mr. Alvarez for a birthday celebration.
Ms. Burton, whose whole family participated in the online classes every Saturday, asked him to turn the birthday dinner, an Argentinean-style BBQ, into an interactive event.
Some people are experiencing the pandemic differently than others. cdnpoli
