New Double-Wide Site From LookatLao

My pals over at Tavolata contacted me a while back and said they wanted a website for a new restaurant they were opening called How To Cook A Wolf. The name comes from a book by M.F.K. Fisher and it’s supposedly a masterpiece of culinary adventure. (I haven’t read it, though we used a few quotes in the site and I get where she’s coming from.)

Before the site design, while the restaurant was still being built, we did a horrific photo shoot involving a pig carcass and a miter saw which we hoped to use as a coming soon page. Sadly, that page never materialized, but I’m saving those photos for something, just not sure what.

When I first saw the finished space I had a petty good idea of where the design inspiration was going to come from: the textures. The restaurant build is impressive: slate, pounded copper, bent wood and it all came together in a single-page, extra-wide design where textures blend together to form the different sections.

Anyway, enough banter, take a look at howtocookawolf.com and tell me what you think.
