    How we lay a table

    Ours in the middle.
    Yours in front of you.

    Every plate that carries our name is a plate we set for one person. Everything the kitchen sends out arrives on something else — the painted round, the blue rectangle, the clay dish, the bread tray. You can read the whole meal off the table before anyone says a word.

    Yours
    The plate with our name on it

    Set before you arrive. Empty on purpose. It stays that way until you decide what to reach for.

    Everything else on the table

    No two the same. They come from the middle and they belong to whoever is sitting there. That is what meze is.

    Chops over open flame on the grill
    The grill
    Some of it is
    simply fire.

    Chops, lamb, whatever came in that morning. Charcoal, lemon, oregano, salt. Nothing that needs explaining.

    After dark

    Terracotta, lit from
    inside the wall.

    Come at eight and the room is one thing. Come at ten and the light has moved, the pots are glowing out of the plaster, and nobody is in a hurry to ask for the bill.
