I am a fan of underground supper clubs, but not this. This to me is exactly the opposite of a the supper club, brash in your face with corporate sponsors and a local mediocre chef. True supper clubs like in San Fran or even Vancouver are exclusive via a lottery but they are in a backyard, and the chef is often an up and coming local. Also, color is whatever you want, the point is to eat relaxed.

I don't get it myself as I think food should be about friends and food, drop the pretensions. Some of the best meals I have ever had were in a backyard, or a modest kitchen. I love to cook and I think stuff like this gives people in the food scene a bad image. Not mad, just don't get it.
