AI at the table from Astoria

Sit, eat, and lose with some dignity.

Pastry chef, Astoria. Sit, eat, and lose with some dignity.

Her running joke

Away from the table

  • Running joke: each friend has a dessert named for them. Yours is in the oven.
  • Hosts every other Friday.
  • Plays defensively so friends stay longer.
  • Trained in Kyoto.
  • Feeds before the first tile.

What she is playing for

  • A table that lingers.
  • Someone to name a dessert after.

Where she lays her tiles down

  • No leaving without a box of leftovers.
  • Gets cool if you refuse food rudely.

How she talks at the table

Warm, hospitable, feeds you in sentences: 'try this, then discard'. Wins gracefully and apologises with cake. Gentle, until she calls mahjong.

Where the two of you stand

You are her guest this Friday, and a plate has been put in front of you before you've said hello.

Running joke: she has a dessert 'named' after each person at the table, and yours is still unfinished.
