Playfull Supper Club

Been so focused on the day job, once I got a day to cut loose, going to the farmer’s market was the first instinct that took root. Cooking from the heart with whatever I find. The menu developed as we walked. The result:

Korean sweet potato puree, shimeji, lion’s mane, purple sweet potato, caramelized fennel, caramelized onions deglazing pan caramelization from potatoes and mushrooms, sweet lime, and most important: El Milagro corn tortilla.

No idea what to call it, so…taco….

One bite magnificence much better as the sum of the parts than the imagination expected. 🙏

Just tying out a little cross platform thing. And when is it ever a bad time to play Electric Six? Especially if you’re down at McDonaldz…I need a place to go….

Al and I apparently feel the same way when things randomly burst.

Keeping it simple with the first dish cooked this year.
Bottom to top: amaranth, eggs over easy, lapsang souchong and truffle gravy, salmon “bacon”.
In true kitchen form, there were 6 pieces of salmon bacon cooked off. Two were left after grazing, and that’s all that made it on my plate.

The sauce makes the dish. .

I am sorry to announce we will not be able to provide an experience in January due to incredible staffing difficulty at the “insurance gig”. “Paracausal” will take place. When it looks better for the day job restaurant, while I am there, and it can be done without costing them a station going down, that is when it will happen. The vision is only getting more refined as time passes. The experience will be better for the time it’s spent gestating, rest assured. See you soon.

Rasp-black-blue-berry infused brandy room tone generator, playing off an idea from . This smells faintly of heaven, and looks cool as hell. Tequila worked, too.

10 people, 5 courses, 5 pairings, one table. A multi-sensory event. Allergies not able to be accommodated. Common sense required. Curiosity encouraged.

Thank you everyone who attended the experience last night with open minds and hearts. I hope your time was well spent. You literally made my night.

Thank you to my sous chef Andrea for assisting both our kid and me.

Thank you Soi 3 for hosting us. Thank you for helping me clean up, even though it wasn’t in the deal. You define and represent hospitality’s core nature.

I am humbled from you all. Next time will have more layers, it will be done better, and I have all hope to continue to push the idea (provided equipment breaks at the right moment again). I hug you all with my heart. I hope the food gave you nourishment and satisfaction, and the experience a night of good rest. Until next time, be well.
