Underground Supper Clubs

If I were not leaving for California next week...I would sign up for this. Underground Supper Clubs are going on all over the country. You have to do your research to find them...and they can be selective, but what a fun way to spend an evening and meet new people. The waiting list can be long...so sign up today and hopefully you will get a phone call back!

Serious Eats says, "Supper clubs have also been described as "culinary speakeasies" because the chefs that run them charge money for the meals, but aren't preparing them in licensed commercial kitchens, so they can get busted and fined for what they're doing, hence the secrecy—which is of course what makes the clubs so appealing!"

Here are some in Atlanta!

Souper Jenny- Jenny just started doing Under Ground Supper Clubs. Her first one was lead by head chef, Gerry Klaskala from Aria. Guests dined on a five course decadent feast.
Souper Jenny's secret dinner club takes place in unique locations all over metro Atlanta. Only 26 guests can attend this 5 course wine and food pairing put on by some of Atlanta's best chefs and gourmands. Four times a year, 26 diners are invited to a five course dinner at an undisclosed location that is only revealed the night before the event. Guests are invited through their top secret email list or by private phone call. You will be contacted and told how many guests you may bring. You must respond within 24 hours or your invitation goes to someone else!
The 5 course dinner and wine pairing costs $150 per person which includes tax and tip and lots of delicious wines
To sign up, email souperjennys@aol.com and tell us why you think you will be a great dinner companion!
