Boku Supper Club

Introduction: The ultimate goal is to open an incubator for cooks and chefs, so they can work on new concepts for an audience of open-minded foodies. I have a long way to go before I get there; so until then, I'm acting as the pilot program, hosting my own pop-ups in various Philadelphia venues. Menu items will be riffs on dishes I've eaten in the past and traditional recipes, most of which employ modernist techniques. Wherever I can, ingredients will be sourced locally. We use the 90/10 rule in avoiding commodity meats and ingredients that are parts of the industrial food complex. Having never gone to culinary school, I have relied on learning a la carte. I've drawn inspiration from a multitude of chefs and cooks, watching YouTube videos and reading blogs and books over the years. While I have an innate ability to cook, I owe a vast majority of what I know and cook to the real chefs whom I follow.
