Underground dining clubs are all the rage, receiving attention from the community of home cooks as well as the press. Typically you buy a place at a dinner announced in advance that is held in someone’s apartment. Off-duty chefs or aspiring chefs then whip up a multi-course meal often using market and local ingredients. My friends Igor & Elizabeth recently raved about a dinner they attended hosted by the bite club. Apparently the trend has even hit college campuses. While its unclear if these clubs are legal, commercial cooking endeavors don't want to miss out either. Bon Apetit is jumping on the bandwagon with the limited appearance of their Supper Club & Café. The supper club will host a few private dinners while the café will be open for 2 weeks (through Nov.2) featuring under $10 lunches planned by famous chefs.
