Evenings Supper Club

Foodblog-7601

Last Thursday night I had the honor of being a guest at the inaugural Evenings Supper Club. Evenings is the creation of local chef Bryan Kelly and his wife Melissa.

Foodblog-7560

Dinner was held in The Garage, a Cville landmark and mini venue used for art galleries, music and more.

Foodblog-7570

They did an amazing job dressing up the table! Loved the mix of blue and green glass.

I brought my girlfriends Sarah and Gaby with me. Sarah loves to entertain and it was Gaby’s 30th birthday!

Foodblog-7581

Our evening began in the courtyard next to The Garage where we sipped bourbon sweet tea cocktails and introduced ourselves to the other guests. We were joined by Kat and Darren of the Cville Niche Blog as well as Sam, who runs The Garage, and his girlfriend Maddie, who I’ve met at previous Hill & Holler dinners.

We also whet our palates with goat cheese & grape truffles and crostini with white bean & artichoke hummus.

Foodblog-7565

The truffles won my heart – I want to make them myself this summer! Chef says you just soften goat cheese and roll it into a ball around a grape.

Foodblog-7564

We were called to dinner shortly after and began the first of three amazing courses. Notice the art on the walls. The pieces are from Richmond artist Travis Robertson. I loved the color palate and mix of typography with design. I also really want this Duke’s piece for our house! Still debating..

Foodblog-7574

Aside from the signature cocktail, Evenings Supper Clubs are BYOB. I think this is awesome because it gives you the chance to taste a bunch of different wines instead of having a big glass or two of a featured selection. I brought the Trentadue Old Patch Red from Sonoma in the middle – on of my favs.

Foodblog-7584

The first course was Bacon Panisse, Soft Poached Farm Egg, Romesco Sauce and a Red Onion Marmalade. Plus little dots of whipped goat cheese around the edges. There’s nothing like a perfectly poached egg! The diversity of flavors in this dish went so well together.

Foodblog-7588

Our main course featured Seared Pork Tenderloin, Petite Herb Gnocchi, Carrots (Pickled/Pureed/Raw) and Ancho Chile Meringue. Again, the combination of textures and flavors won me over – the soft gnocchi, the crunchy raw veggies, the savory pork that was cooked sous-vide, the pureed carrots and finally the flakey meringue. Loved the spicy meringue!

Foodblog-7602

We nibbled and talked into the evening until dessert arrived – strawberry extravaganza! Fried Strawberry Pie, Vanilla Ice Cream, Pecan Praline, Dried Strawberries and Milk Jam. AH. Mazing. Loved the “milk jam” (the butterscotchy sauce under the pie). I can’t remember what Chef said it was, but it was good!

Foodblog-7608

One of my favorite parts of fine dining are tableside surprises, and Chef Kelly chose the perfect end to the night with some Nutella macarons and honey jellies.

Foodblog-7615

Slow clap for the chef!

Foodblog-7613

While our dinner was on the house in exchange for publicity, Evenings Supper Club dinners will be a $65 suggested cash donation. Menus for each dinner will be posted on their Facebook page and emailed out to subscribers two weeks prior to each event. So far there are six in the works in June and July. I already have my name down for one to attend with Matt!  To get on Chef Kelly’s list, email him at [email protected]. Spots are limited to 10 guests, so I expect they will fill up fast. Follow along on Instagram as well!

    Everything looks yummy! I totally agree, a well-cooked poached egg is very satisfying. Milk jam is dulce de leche.

    $65 a meal is an excellent price for a supper club! Would go if I lived in Cville.

    That venue is adorable! What a fun experience!

    Side note, I’m afraid you’re using the “slow clap” reference incorrectly. It has some negative connotations that I don’t think you intend here since it looks like the chef did such a fabulous job!

      I’ve only heard it as a beginning standing ovation symbol. Perhaps a regional difference? Nevertheless I intended it positively

        Well Urban Dictionary does suggest a negative connotation of sorts – but also a standing ovation: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slow+clap.

        I’ve only heard it used personally in positive ways, so I guess I’m just surrounded by nice people 🙂

          Hahaha well I wouldn’t say everyone in my region isn’t nice… But it’s used more sarcastically where I’ve heard it. Regardless, I think we all know your intention was good 🙂
