More on underground restaurants – it is coming soon.

Clotilde also reports the opening of an underground restaurant in Paris known as Hidden Kitchen and points to the Wikipedia entry from my report in the Herald Sun. Readers may recall that there is one Zingara Cucina in Melbourne and Subculture Dining in San Francisco from my recent post.

There’s also this story from the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Culinary speakeasies like Ghetto Gourmet are popping up in cities in the Bay Area and beyond, across the country and around the world. Part of the thrill, of course, is the hipness factor, the ego-inflating I-know-something-or-somebody-you-don’t-know feeling that comes with being on a VIP list. But underground diners also can find surprisingly good food at bargain-basement prices.”

I’ve had many email requests as to what is happening with my mooted idea of opening another in Melbourne and it will happen in the next few months, probably a Sunday lunchtime for around 40 people for an all in price of (including some good booze) of $80-100.
