- Underground supper clubs - Chefs operating out of their own kitchens without licenses to serve the public
- YES! I love the idea so much. I think the food would taste 100% better just knowing some government bureacrat doesn't have their hand in the till, jacking up my the price of the food to support their bloated government agency. It's about time people stand up to the draconian health department regulations that prevent people from sharing their food with others and receiving some small amount of money in return. To heck with the health inspectors and the licenses, people have good sense to take care of themselves!
- Utterly Random Dinner Party -
- Since 2004, a "wandering supper club" called The Ghetto Gourmet has been organizing underground dinner parties in the Bay Area. "We want events that are comfortable and geared toward people getting to know each other," says Jeremy Townsend, 30, who cofounded the club with his brother Joe, 25. "It's definitely about more than just the food."
- All that's required to join is an online reservation made at theghet.com and a donation (which ranges from $30 to $75, depending on the event). In return, members are treated to a four-course meal prepared by an off-duty professional chef, line cook, or caterer (past participants include Serge Santiago, formerly of Mecca in San Francisco, and Damon Bruner, onetime chef at L.A.'s Cinnabar); some kind of unusual entertainment (anything from poetry readings to ancient Hungarian chanting); and the opportunity to meet lots of interesting people.
- Pay-what-you-like Restaurants - Innovative restaurants around the world are letting their patrons decide how much their meal is worth.
