Whether you’re feasting on buttermilk biscuits or savoring Japanese pork belly, an underground supper party with Undergrounds Unite will be a night not to be missed.
The project is a collaboration between five leading US underground dining clubs:
Homeslice Westis a “culinary speakeasy” with a new southern feel. Part dinner party, part underground restaurant, at its heart, Homeslice West is about bringing people together in an intimate dining environment conducive to conversation and laughter over great food. It’s unpretentious, casual southern goodness.
Studiofeast is an invitation-only culinary collective that focuses on promoting emerging and undiscovered gastronomic talent. The collective are a platform for new ideas and frameworks in dining, but above all, firmly rooted in the spirit of fun and the pursuit of the good life.
The Whisk & Ladle In the far reaches of Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood, one woman (with a little help) founded a supperclub that seemed to stand up against the onslaught of the “bar-restaurant” culture. Abiding by the traditional structure of the dinner party and out of the deeply entrenched belief that all things civilized and debaucherous find common ground on a dining room table, the Whisk & Ladle supperclub was born.
The Ghetto Gourmetwas one of the original underground dining pioneers, beginning in early 2004 as a Monday night “pirate restaurant” in a basement apartment in Oakland, CA. As a “wandering supperclub,” the Ghet produced over 350 community dining events from coast to coast last year. Today, they’ve expanded to become a “dinner party network” where adventurous foodies connect, share info and eventually dine together.
Light-Bulb Oven is a Brooklyn-based culinary salon in operation since February 2007. Powered by seasonal ingredients, lively guests and more than a little irreverence, Light-Bulb Oven is a place for adventurous eaters to try new flavors, make new friends and generally have a good time.
So what can you expect from am Underground Unites dinner? For a $125.00 donation you will get a starter and evening cocktail, 12-course dinner, wine and/or beer as well as a take-home treat – but most of all you’ll have the chance to meet new people and enjoy a Slow Life dinner in style.
