The Underground Kitchen

Each Underground Kitchen event is unique, in the truest sense of the word. UGK is a supper club that gives members access to a one night only, 5-7 course gourmet meal prepared by an amazing chef in a secret location. The chefs prepare food that pushes them to the limits of their culinary creativity Each event has a theme that is intricately woven through the menu and atmosphere. Locations vary from art studios, to local restaurants, to farms, to anywhere else with a venue suited to UGK’s vision. The venues emphasize the themes, and generate dialogue about food sources, culinary preparation, and eating. An understanding of food, as an economy, profession, and source of enjoyment is one of the founding principles of UGK. UGK offers members an exceptional culinary experience, while getting them in touch with like-minded individuals and teaching them about the roots of various cuisines. These meals are unified in concept and immaculate in their execution. Part of the allure of UGK events is the intimacy—only 25-40 people get a ticket, but anyone can register to receive the invitation that goes out days before tickets go on sale. In the invitation that is sent out before the event, only three pieces of information are divulged: the date of the dinner, the date and time when tickets will go on sale, and a clue about the location of the event. That’s it. The menu, chef, and location are kept secret until the last possible moment. The tickets are all inclusive, covering the meal, wine, and gratuity, and the prices vary based on the location/theme of the event. Tickets are first come, first served, and sales are limited to two tickets per member. Jump on the tickets fast because they sell out in minutes. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket, you are in for an experience unlike any other. If you are less fortunate, keep your ears and eyes open, because another event is surely on the horizon, and it is guaranteed to be exceptional. Best of luck.
