The neighborhood is generally quite wealthy, but we have fewer high-end restaurants than Prospect Heights or Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill.
I have a friend opening a higher end place, but everyone has told to avoid park slope - given the average home value id have thought we’d be a great neighborhood for that?
not a criticism of the great places we do have.
In this upcoming meeting, who is actually able to vote? In person? In person + zoom? Does the vote go out to the entire membership digitally?
It seems like a pretty strong disenfranchisement if all members of the coop are not allowed to vote, especially given I'd guess everyone in this community is in favor of early voting and mail in ballots in government elections.
The battery is a very interesting solution to the power delivery problem – One thing I've been trying to find more information on is what the power curve ramp down looks like over extended use. At some amount of us, that battery is exhausted, and I assume the cooktop can no longer deliver 10 kW per point source?
I'm quite interested in the core technology. For our renovation, we're going to be putting in a different brand 36-inch and a gas wok burner next to it, but would be very interested in a single burner Impulse powered replacement for that gas one someday.
Edit: I seem to have accidently kicked a hornet's nest with this question, so to add some context there are plenty of cooking situations when one can run 4 burners at 90-100% capacity for hours (thanksgiving, for example) and while this may not be a daily use case, I'm just trying to understand what the tradeoffs, limitations, and yes, advantages are of this design vs a more traditional one.
The battery does not have sufficient duration for a professional kitchen obviously (nor is it targeted at that use case, makes total sense). So I'm trying to understand where that changeover point is.
