Secret Suppers

This week I just finished reading Secret Suppers: Rouge chefs & Underground Restaurants in Warehouses, Townhouses, Open Fields, and Everywhere In Between. This exciting book by LA based food journalist, Jenn Garbee is well worth the small amount of time it will take you to breeze through each fascinating chapter. In Secret Suppers, Garbee (http://www.jenngarbee.com/) dedicates each chapter to a different underground dining experience, taking you right along with her to experience everything from unsatisfying $200 6 course meals in open fields. To truly gratifying, and inspiring 6 course meals for $40 in D.C. (specialty cocktails included)! Every element of these undergrounds was interesting to me, including the varied ways each selects their lucky dinner guest. Some of these underground restaurants focus on fresh local fare, but most focus solely on trying to create interesting and delicious meals.
To visit the only "Virtual" Underground Restaurant she covers, check out Sub Rosa. This micro-distillery! and virtual restaurant is worth a visit.

This book is perfect for anyone interested in experiencing or even creating great food, amazing culinary feats, and social adventure.
