What if a restaurant could change the way you experience food - without ever giving you a menu?

That's exactly what David Barber and his brother, renowned chef Dan Barber, have done at Blue Hill, the preeminent farm-to-table restaurant and working farm that have redefined taste, sustainability, and hospitality. In a world of fast food and faster content, David is betting on something different: an intentional approach to farming and dining where storytelling brings to life the ingredients in every course.

David grew up with the 80-acre family farm located an hour outside New York City. Today, that farm forms the heart of the stunning Blue Hill restaurant, where diners enjoy a multi-sensory meal that often lasts four hours, as well as a location in Manhattan. David is also founding partner at Almanac Insights, a venture fund investing in innovative food and hospitality companies. He recently launched Rhizome, a food research and incubation company that is developing better food ingredients, like tastier eggs - sourced from chickens fed with food waste, rather than conventional grain.

David explains:

• Why the Blue Hill dining experience is so different
• How deliciousness ranks when designing the Blue Hill meal
• What role the family farm has played in his career and life
• How we can design a new type of immersive experience, not only for dining but also for music and other art forms
• Why he launched Rhizome, his newest venture, and how it fits between Blue Hill (the restaurants) and the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, which he also co-founded
• The most underrated food ingredient
• His most recent stand-out travel experience
