Lots of people have asked what exactly an underground supper club is. The Times did an article on this phenomenon last year; also check out www.theghet.com. Here's my standard spiel: underground supper clubs/restaurants are the latest foodie trend, hosted by talented amateur chefs and mixologists. Similar to paying to attend a dinner party, the events usually take place in someone's home and are advertised exclusively through word of mouth. The prearranged price (sometimes paid by cash, sometimes through Paypal) buys you several courses of restaurant-quality gourmet food with wine and cocktail pairings, but in a much more intimate and convivial setting.
