Understand your skepticism, since it must seem to you like we came out of nowhere, but this is a long time in the making, with a lot of learning and hard work in the space on our parts behind it. Please feel free to come by anytime you're in New York if you'd like to meet the team and check out what we're doing. We've got some great tandoori places in the neighborhood, too.</p> Om, thanks very much for the mention.
