last month we held our first supper for 8 adventurous folks who were good-hearted enough to give our supper club experiment a try. the evening was great all around--the weather was pleasant, the food tasty, and our guests gracious. we received enough praise to keep our heads up and lots of great suggestions for improving future suppers. needless to say, we've decided to continue our little experiment and will be hosting under a new name for our August supper: the abundant table, an equal opportunity supper club. check out the menu below!
a couple of items to note about our suppers:
- we (the 3 chefs) will organize, host, prepare, and serve each supper; there's no expectation that guests will host a future supper. the only thing we ask in return is a donation to cover the cost of the meal, determined by the menu and the ingredients used
- suppers will be held on the last saturday of each month. in months where holidays or other events conflict, we will schedule the supper for the preceding or following weekend
- suppers are limited to the first 8 to RSVP; in the event that we have fewer than 6 guests, we will postpone the supper to another day
- for a typical supper, we will request a donation of $30; however as we vary the menu and theme of each supper, the donation may be higher or lower than the $30 average
- for a typical supper, we will request a donation of $30; however as we vary the menu and theme of each supper, the donation may be higher or lower than the $30 average
- we are an equal opportunity supper club: anyone is welcome to attend a supper and we hope our guests will enjoy the experience enough to encourage their friends to join! if you'd like to be added to our email list, simply email us at theabundanttableatl@gmail.com
