The girls behind H.S.D.C. were privy to a private biscuit lesson by The Biscuit Business Man, The Biscuit King, The Real Jon Pack. We learned more than we ever expected from this tutorial, bearing a newfound appreciation and adoration for biscuit baking. Lesson to the nascent biscuitors out there: pay attention the the protein in flour and ket those fat solids real cold!

Saturday, April 30th 2011: Spring Sessions

Greeting Spring Chickens!

Remember how it was 80 degrees the other day and now it’s overcast, again? What the hell Mother Nature?! Well, as we transition out of the snowpocalypse (the greatest takeaway from this shit winter) and head towards summer, The High Society DIning Club presents: Spring Sessions, with a menu inspired by Passover and Easter fare and festivities. Lesson: springtime is known as the season connected to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth—so let’s get heady and full together.

Please save the date for Saturday, April 30th, 2011 and let us know as soon as possible if you plan to join us. And, if you think someone you know would be interested in attending (eaters, art appreciators, business brains, non- kleptos), pass this invite along. If they’re friend of yours, they could be a friend of ours. Email: thehighsocietydining@gmail.com. All reservations will be promptly confirmed.

Some notes: H.S.D.C will be graced with an additional chef, Stephanie Reagor.Hailing from top-notch Chicago restaurants, such as Blackbird and Publican, she currently makes a ton of burgers and your favorite gnudi at The Spotted Pig. Also, if you’ve attended one of our dinners in the past, we will be moving locations to a bigger better more historic loft this time around. Address details will be sent the week of the event. Tempting tidbit: the rooftop and views will make you even more eager for summer.
Let’s celebrate like freed Israelites and bring our boy Jesus back to life!

Big hearts and appetites,
-H.S.D.C.

Deviled eggs with chives, pickled ramps and smoked trout

the main dish--secret seafood romesco

A glimpse inside….where’s the proof of the chocolate hazelnut torte??? Oh, well. The salt cod fritters served over found pea shoots with patatas bravas and harissa aioli will remain a palate pleasing memory. Overall, the night was a success! A true social food networking night! Well done, everyone, and thanks to those that participated!

mussels in RIDICULOUS romesco sauce

You guys! We just recovered from our Barcelona jet-lag. In Spain, petty crime is a huge issue and our camera was stolen…errr…there was an iphone error during our mock-Espana fiesta. Regardless of the reason, documentation from the evening’s festivities is thin, but guests sent a few our way! One way to look at the lack of photos— our dinners remain underground and provocative….sort of…? Anyhow, the first batch of photos are from the prep at farmer’s market race for the freshest seafood (we grabbed scallops and mussels) and skip to the after-dinner lingering debauchery remanence. Fill in the blanks (and we’ll fill some in for you in the next post).

Aimee and Erica took H.S.D.C a little bit up the road to Greepoint. Veronica People’s Club was a little window into what it would be like for us to run a restaurant. Tough biz—rush of big parties, no shows, late last plates. We would have to say the highest highlights for us were the behind the scenes weekend prep which provided some humor as we took videos of grinding coffee beans (hilarious!) and sizzling meatballs (have you replayed a video of browning balls? laughs!). But, all in all, the Sunday dinner was really great! Lots of friends, bar regulars and neighborhood wanderers came out and thoroughly enjoyed the Italian feast. A big shout out to Jeremy and Heather from Veronicas for welcoming us into their space, Aaron Mate for being a rad DJ. And, of course, we were also very appreciative to receive an internet blurb on Flavorpill. Catch us next time in our chiller home environment. Ciao!
