Two weeks ago was our kick-off to the Eat+Drink 2014 Supper Club Season and it was AMAZING! If you were there, you know what I’m talking about and if you weren’t, WOW did you miss out on a culinary experience that would have blown your mind. Chef Clark Staub of Full of Life Flatbread and J.Brix Wines stuffed us full of food and wine until we cried for mercy. Check out the pictures above and kick yourself for not joining us! Our next dinner is May 31st - be there!

I’m sure many of you here in Los Angeles saw last week that the first LA Diner en Blanc took place on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. 1300 people showed up dressed in white for dinner. It looked amazing!
The Eat+Drink Supper Club had our own mini diner en blanc a couple weeks ago with our french David Feau dinner. It WAS amazing!
Well now there is a documentary about this phenomenon called “Diner en Blanc: The World’s Largest Dinner Party”. I don’t know what it is about this trailer but it made me cry. Maybe it’s the collective goal of everyone coming together to have an amazing dinner. Maybe it’s that my lovely friend from France, Jacqueline, told me about this months and months ago. I don’t know. But I love it.
