At MIT, it’s easy to get swept into the waves of never ending psets, projects, the possibles, the potentials. In the midst of it all, four MIT friends forgot that we live our life in the present, that happiness also derives from simple pleasures.

After consolidating with a cohort of foodies at MIT, we created Mince to remind our community of the brilliant artistry and genuine connection that can be conveyed through a single meal. If we can craft dreams and futures from our love for specks in the night sky, for great geographic grandeurs, for meticulous machineries of life, then surely, it is just as important to take a pause and take a look down at what’s in our plate— and focus on the simplicity, complexity, significance, and experience of our food.
