Checking my calendar from 2007, last year's DTD Patina Dining Event was on February 5th. Any news of a repeat this year?

No news, but I have contacted the new marketing person at Patina to ask.

yeah - it's been a long time and I wondered about it's return since the new group took over. Park Prive is right next door to my office and the folks there don't know anything about it. I expected that answer - but I thought I'd ask. ;)

New group? :confused:

Last I heard, they didn't have any real plans. I know that if the folks at Catal had any say, they'd do away with those. They hate the AP events.

Spichal (head chef and founder, patina group) and other investors bought back the Patina Group from the company that had bought it from him a while back. This was in early 2007 I believe (maybe late 2006).

Yeah, ok. I was thinking I hadn't heard of anything else. I wouldn't characterize it as a new group though. It's not like Joachim had ever walked away from it. He was still very much involved, but he just has more control again this way.

And the AP event generally isn't something corporate would control. It would be decided upon by the people in charge of the DTD group for Patina.
