A razor, a shiny knife is an organization that hosts educational, social and theatrical culinary events around the world. The organization arranges both simple and extravagant events to generate new and interesting ways for people to interact with food and each other. On May 1, 2011, along with Studiofeast,  The Cheeky Chef and Winetology’s Jonny Cigar, the organization took to New York City’s subway system to host one of these unforgettable fine-dining experiences for subway riders. In a unique experience public transit commuters became part of a perfectly choreographed and exquisitely prepared culinary affair.
