Lucky Monday

Today I got featured on another blog which is a fun new thing.  If you click the landing page, you will see my post on the http://www.forestparkliving.org/ landing page.  Since this won't last forever, you can go straight to my restaurant review by clicking here.  It has a cute picture of Warren, June, & I at Grandma Audrey's 90th birthday.  


It was a competition for a food review around Forest Park and I won which included an invitation to a special dinner at a "pop up" restaurant.  What is a pop up restaurant?  Well, it's in the line of the new wave of underground restaurants and such.  According to St. Louis Magazine: 
"a pop-up restaurant is a unique and economical way for a chef to either spread his name/brand or test drive a completely new idea. Such a restaurant has a run of one night to several weeks and is held in a location one might not expect a restaurant to well, pop up: a coffee shop, an unused catering space, an unusual studio or office, even, as will be the case here, a vacant restaurant." 


The place we are headed is in the Dorchester, an apartment building right on Skinker.  This pop up is called Demitasse Underground.  The dinner will be a 7 course meal with wine pairings.  It changes every week, which adds to the allure of it.  With our meal we will get to sample quite a few yummy sounding items that will be a challenge to the pallet.  I can't wait to tell you all about it.  To learn more about Demitasse Underground, you can find out what is on the menu through their facebook page.  Click here to see it.
