At Buddakan that night, the interaction between groups started with food ("Oh, what's that?" as a plate of shaken chili beef tartare arrived) but quickly progressed to a discussion about the latest handbags from Chloé, a debate about police brutality and an exchange of phone numbers at the end of the meal.
