Count me in!

I would love it if this happened, with weekly dinners or something like that. Keep me informed!

I'd love to do this. I had a similar group when I was in Chicago, with a range of culinary palettes, tasting the eccentric nuances of the city's varied palette.

By that I mean we tried about 50 deep dish pizzas. I will also add that there is nothing wrong with that.

@ fieryfudge - great! email me at avideater@gmail.com to discuss.

So far there haven't been a lot of responses via email and I'd like to get the email group going so please email if you're interested.

@FeliciaLovesFood - I hope you're still interested in developing this. After all, you started the post! Shoot me an email. Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm interested -- I don't know what demographic you're looking at, though; you guys are all awesome, you can tell me if you don't want a broke 22-year-old crashing your party, haha.

I found a clip about the segment in Seattle....
"I sent the following e-mail to Tony Bourdain's people:

"Flying under the radar of the authorities...this (underground restaurant) is where Seattle chefs come to play! The clientele is sophisticated foodies who appreciate all the chef's creativity--no worrying about profit margins or what will sell. Two nights a month, this crowd gathers, underground at an undisclosed location, for pure culinary magic! "

That is an option that I'd consider. I really enjoyed the concept in the Bourdain No Reservations Pacific Northwest episode. I wish I could locate a good description of it online, but I can't. Basically it was a group with a varied background who met occassionally to eat and present different concepts. They fix an elaborate dinner that everyone contributes to one way or another.

This group could meet at underground restaurants, restaurants in general, etc etc.

I think the main idea is to get a small group together of people in NYC who are interested in exploring the foodie scene here, but in a more "underground" fashion.

Is that correct, FeliciaLoveFood?

What is the basic concept of something like this?

I have dietary limitations to work around but I'm interested if I can do an occassional feast. Since I don't know any of you, I don't know how red meat happy you are.

@ FeliciaLovesFood, alainakunin, simon, Lorenzo -

If you're interested, should we set up an email for our small group. One of us, I can volunteer, can provide their email address, you can email me and I will set up an email group of the 2, 3, 4 + of us who are interested and we can go from there, rather than on this public post. Let me know what you think and I'll send my email in my next post to this chain.
