The Power of the Quick Lunch

There's something about meeting a friend for lunch that always brightens my day. Sure, fishing trips, Hampton weekends and baseball games are all good and fun... but there's nothing like a mid-day meal to really strengthen a relationship.



But as we get older it's tougher to sync schedules (unless it's related to business). Everyone has their own agendas which tend to get more hectic by the day.

With that said, we must adapt! It's important to throw in a twist. A friend questioned me yesterday for proposing a quick lunch. They said, "Steve, I'm in but what's the rush?"

The truth is I simply threw in the adjective because it produces a higher success rate. Admit it, there’s just something more appealing about meeting up for a “quick lunch” during the week. It’s right up there with “grabbing a bite” and yet miles away from the heinous “let’s DO lunch”.

Let’s do lunch? That’s a whole procedure. I'm thinkin appetizers, drinks, entrees... and then dessert if you're rolling with a snowball! Nobody has that kind of time to commit. Especially in Manhattan.

Keep it simple. In and out, baby. Stick to the quick lunch and let the good times roll... That's Sprezzatura.
