LUNCH?

TO: CHRIS STEINOCHER — CEO, ST. PETE CHAMBER
FROM: JOHNNY SAYE — RESIDENT, ASPIRING USEFUL PERSON
RE: LUNCH. JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM YOUR OFFICE.

SUNSHINE
CITY
FOREVER

L U N C H ?

that's it. that's the ask. everything below is a short walk from your desk.

Chris —

I wrote you a whole pitch about synergy and civic momentum. I deleted it. You would have hated it. I hated it.

What's left is this: I'd like to buy you a sandwich and ask you questions until you have to go back to running the city's fan club. I'm buying.

— Johnny

↓ "why I wanna meet" — folded, because I fold under pressure. tap it. ↓

I don't know how — or what — I want to do in St. Pete to make an impact.

But every time I think of who I want to become, it's you.

(no pressure. okay, some pressure.)

LONNI'S

The downtown sandwich institution. Zero pretense, all seniority.

"the classic"

NAKED FARMER

Farm bowls from actual Florida farms. The virtuous choice. Your 6am yoga would approve.

"the virtuous one"

PACIFIC COUNTER

Sushi-roll math on Central. The future of the food court.

"the wildcard"

TO ACCEPT: DUNK

word on the street is you're a dunker. so no RSVP form — just drag a cookie into the milk. that's legally binding in the 'Burg.

THAT'S A YES.

baked this morning* (*digitally)

whole milk. cold. waiting.

the cookie has been dunked. there's no going back. seal it:

EMAIL JOHNNY: "IT'S ON." →

opens Gmail, pre-written. or text him: (318) 348-1659 — he answers embarrassingly fast.
old-fashioned? saye@stalechips.com works too.
