Talula’s, from NPR

Posted by Mark on Friday, April 25th, 2008. Filed under Fresh Ideas.

A great story about what must be a wonderful dining experience, this from NPR’s “Day to Day.” Talula’s is in Kennett Square, PA. What a great idea: a single seating of no more than 12 people at a single table with a single, fixed menu of up to eight courses.

“Because of the restaurant’s popularity and its single nightly seating, Olexy has devised a special system for selecting diners. Though the phone often begins ringing with requests at sunrise, she does not pick it up until 7 a.m. on the dot. The caller is then offered a reservation exactly one year later. Requests for earlier or later are denied, as are attempts to play the VIP card to skirt the procedure entirely.”

The short write-up, some photos and a must-listen podcast of the original radio story are here on the NPR site.
