Last night Neil and I went to a dinner party that a coworker told me about. It's a branch off from the original ghetto gourmet (http://www.theghet.com). The ghetto gourmet, which started in 2004 as an underground dinner party movement, grew quickly and as a result canvas underground was born - as a way to keep the parties at an intimate and smaller size. the dinner we attended last night was hosted in glen park. i haven't spent any time there and was pleasantly surprised. narrow winding streets and cute corner stores. everywhere.

the dinner party is hosted by a volunteer so the venue changes from party to party. the chef, peter jackson, had a wonderful menu lined up including:

Cream of Cauliflower Soup with White Cheddar Croutons
Romaine Salad with Golden Beet Vinaigrette, Blood Oranges and Sweet Italian Onions
Homemade Linguica Sausage with White Beans and Wilted Chicories
Baba Au Rhum with Whipped Cream

there was plenty of wine passed around, and we were fortunate enough to meet loads of new people with similar interests. i'll definitely look forward to attending again - and next time hopefully taking a few photos.
