S U P P E R C L U B
it’s the best ticket in town ! if you can get one.
you better be quick - or have a friend who buys four and then invites you to join him. as was the case last night when our friend brian invited us to a Dai Due Supper Club at Boggy Creek Farm. lucky us !
the talented and gracious owners of Dai Due are jesse griffiths & tamara mayfield. their menus are dictated by the season using locally sourced - organic and sustainable foods. they create intimate environs of communal seating & score top talent musicians to play throughout the evening. they know how to throw a party.
clinton welcomes us with a smile ! and a glass of white sangria.
the tables are set with white linen and burlap ! vases of flowers from the garden - printed menus & buckets of ice for all the b-y-o wines !
the wood burning grills are stoked - the staff is busy opening wine - people are meeting and greeting- and the music plays on !
austin’s own stanley smith & jon doyle.
our party of four is seated with the owners of BCF and our good friends - carol ann sayles and larry butler - and also with the owner of eastside cafe & hausbar farms -dorsey barger -and her partner susan. the fun begins. champagne for all !
it’s a generous 5 course ( with many delicious creations within each course )
starting with an antipasto of fava bean & green garlic crostini - beet green fritters - fritatta & marinated feta cheese
chicken -kale & potato soup
grilled bison sausage with fennel-parsnip & carrot slaw.
lamb belly ! rice pilaf - spring vegetables & mixed greens salad not pictured.
local cheese board with pecan bread & yaupon honey
and dessert of olive oil cake with cajeta - whipped cream & strawberries
( i stopped thinking about photos at this point……..but it was sumptuous ! )
the sun set and the stars came out. the music still played as we finished our wine and said our goodbyes.
another magical evening with Dai Due - all in the name of supper club !
**( you can also pre-order from Dai Due’s on-line butchershop to pick up at the farmers market at republic square park on saturdays )
**update: starting 4/24 dai due will temporarily be at the sfc farmers market at sunset valley - until ordinance is passed for them to continue cooking and serving hot food at rsp market. mmmm! check out biscuits & sausage & gravy !
