Michael Cirino and his partner, Daniel Castano, run the underground supper club, A Razor, A Shiny Knife. They got a lot of attention when they re-created a 24-course dinner first made by noted chefs Grant Achatz and Thomas Keller. Michael and Daniel made their meal in their home kitchen and charged only $300 - far less than the $1500 charged by Achatz and Keller.
They recently made 24 courses in 24 hours.
