About Story.
There is, of course, a story behind the name “Story”. It revolves around three themes that are a part of Thorne-Thomsen’s beliefs,
"The name story is meant to signify that I'm a chef inspired and motivated by ingredients. I try to source ingredients carefully, locally when I can, but whether local or not, I always try to find the best, freshest, most interesting. Inevitably, the more time I spend looking for and learning about ingredients, the more I wind up knowing about them -- where they are grown, pastured, fished, etc. Frequently my imagination goes to work on those details and projects or produces a landscape or seascape, people at work in it -- a "story" of sorts about or behind a particular ingredient begins to shape itself in my mind.
The name also refers to the "story" behind any given dish on the menu, why certain items are paired or not, where the idea came from or how it evolved.
Lastly "story" refers to the meal itself, the diner's experience. Is it a special occasion, an anniversary or birthday for instance; is that the "story"? Is it friends in town, a first date etc. Sometimes, if the food, service and atmosphere are good, then the experience itself is the story."
