In the middle of Spring 2011, five college students sat in H-Building eating endives slathered with butter and caviar. The mix of fat and salt was balanced out by the bitterness of the endives. Amidst the mastication of the rich hors d'oeuvres, an impromptu brainstorm session emerged and gave birth to Chau Time.
