I wrote about Wolvesmouth over 6 months ago when Craig Thornton was featured in the New Yorker and Tasting Table.  Well now Craig is at it again and created a two week artist residency called CUT YOUR TEETH with Matthew Bone at the Santa Monica Museum of Art.  After reading about Wolvesmouth, I dreamed up the Eat+Drink Supper Club - we will hold our 5th dinner next month!  I wonder what this will make me come up with?  

Animal Instinct: A Secret Dinner in a Forest. (In a Museum.)

You’re deep inside a dark forest.

You stumble across some animals. They appear to be stuffed.

You look up to see a dangling chandelier—weird. Also, it appears to be made out of teeth.

Behind you, something clatters.

You’re either at an astoundingly mysterious new dinner party inside a museum, or something pretty bad is about to happen…

Prepare your game face for Cut Your Teeth, in which LA’s hottest underground dinner party, Wolvesmouth, steps into a museum exhibit that’s basically a full-on creepy forest—tickets go on sale Friday at 9am.

I LOVE UrbanDaddy!!!  

I think they have some of the funniest email blasts ever.  Here is the one the sent for the just-about-to-open Bucato in Culver City. I have to go now JUST because of this email.

From Urban Daddy Los Angeles: You probably didn’t dream about pasta last night.

Probably.

But if you did, it might’ve looked a little something like Bucato, a towering shrine to the magical possibilities of flour meeting water. It’s from Rustic Canyon chef Evan Funke—and it’s finally, finally opening Wednesday.

And when Wednesday happens, here’s what you’ll do. 1) Dramatically cancel all Wednesday meetings. 2) Program 310-876-0286 into your phone. 3a) Do some light phone stretches starting around 9:15am—repeatedly curl your dialing finger, that sort of thing. 3b) 9:30am. The phone lines open. And Bucato will only accept same-day reservations. So… procure same-day reservations. 4) Take a moment to silently congratulate yourself on correctly living life.

And then… 5) You’ll walk into the bright light of what could only be called pasta heaven. Two patios. A bunch of knives plunged deep into a towering white wall, their handles making the shape of California. A chandelier made out of rolling pins. And a glass-encased pasta lab upstairs, where things that aren’t noodles become noodles. This lab is doing important work.

So yeah, business lunch. Alfresco wine date. Quick dinner. Special-occasion dinner. It’s all happening here, over squash blossoms, nectarines and fresh strascinati… or tagliatelle with pigeon ragù.

Yes, it’s exactly what you think it is.
