Given the already high-profile nature of Justin Sun’s upcoming lunch with billionaire Warren Buffett, you might think he would play his cards close to the vest. Not Sun, who is milking the auction prize for all it’s worth. He announced on social media that he’s selected San Francisco’s Quince, a “three-Michelin starred restaurant in…historic Jackson Square,” for the July 25 $4.5 million meal – though if you ask Sun, he’d probably say that it’s priceless. Sun said in a blog post:
“After narrowing the choices to three, I ultimately chose Quince because its food represents the traditional and the upstart — much like the participants in the lunch itself.”
Sun is also inviting the media to a press conference to be held both before and after the big lunch. Buffett will seemingly only be present for the morning press event, while Sun’s Tron – never to miss a moment in the, well, sun – will participate in both.
Plenty for Justin Sun and Warren Buffett to Talk About
Quince has graciously agreed to put Warren Buffett’s favorite drink, Cherry Coke, on the menu for the event. This should warm the billionaire stock market investor up and make him feel right at home.
Considering the roller coaster ride that bitcoin has taken investors on over the past week, Sun and Buffett will surely have plenty to talk about. On the surface, bitcoin’s sudden price gyrations lend themselves to Buffett’s argument that bitcoin is a “gambling device.”
