Jason,
Any chance you've actually participated in one of these dinners yet? My wife and I are HUGE fans of Poste (everything from their cocktails and infusions to their gazpacho with dijon ice cream!) and we've been talking about taking part in this for more than two months now.
I'd be curious to hear if anyone has had an experience - positive or negative - of doing this yet.
