Philosophy
To borrow from E.B. White's quintessential memoirs in his masterpiece of travel writing “Here is New York” of 1949, New York City restaurants can utterly destroy an individual, or be entirely fulfilling, depending a good deal on luck. According to White's initial and most gallant summation of living in New York, “on any person who desires such queer prizes, New York bestows the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy.”
The workforce of the service industry is made up of a gallimaufry group of strangers, mostly persons born outside the city, or better, as White aptly puts it, “persons who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town, seeking sanctuary or fulfillment, or some greater or lesser grail.” The largesse to offer such dubious gifts is peculiar and mysterious. Perhaps herein lies the wonder of working in New York City.
We discover our longings are universal, our solitude is not forlorn.
We belong.

Prior to Maison Sun, Dr. Gasperi obtained his Ph.D. degree in German Literature in 2019. His original aspiration was to fulfill a career in the field before the unwelcome arrival of the global pandemic. Upon graduating, he utilized his time and research skills to become a professional restaurateur and sommelier.
Our Executive Chef, Evan Pattee, is the former Executive Chef of Tuome. A native of Florissant, Colorado, Chef Pattee spent 2 years training in Tokyo bejore joining Jungsik early in his career.
