Small tables were set up everywhere. When you finished a particular course you would simply find a chef and make a request. He would either prepare it for you while you watched or you could do it yourself under his supervision. With your next morsel in hand you could move on to a different table and mingle with someone new. It was one of the most memorable meals of my life. Dinner was followed by dancing which was going strong at 3AM when I called it a night.
