for the love of food

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 !
