If you don’t know what we’re talking about, here are the links to the two blogs that featured us in the past two days:

SF Weekly and Thrillist

Talk about judging a book by its cover! It’s a little alarming considering that the food cart posse rolling deep around San Francisco gets more love than us (especially since we were not interviewed for either). But thank you Thrillist for giving us the props!

What we can provide you with is really a ‘unique dining experience’ in itself, food from a Chef whose restaurant just got a Michelin Star, drinks from a lady who knows her a-game working at a pretty popular bar you probably have been to foodies, and someone who passionately loves art in all forms: food, dance, photography, music, the list goes on.

Let’s stay in love with San Francisco for providing different food experiences for everyone and man let’s EAT!

Family Meal Collective (FMC) suppers are set in a private and intimate environment where (8-12) guests enjoy the flavors of seasonal ingredients, find local artist’s work showcased, and experience a family meal with friends new and old.

This supper will focus on bringing the flavors of the holiday & fall season with:

5 course family style meal
4 drink pairing course (optional, but highly suggested)

The suggested donation for the supper is: 39/person, and drink pairing is 13/person.

The event will start with “BYOB Cocktail Hour,” your opportunity to bring a select beverage of choice with the other guests.

FMC Opening Dinner

familymealcollective — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:18:17 +0000

Our baby underground supper club project has finally opened! Great comments by the invited guests, beautiful and warming decor, and of course great food and great drink pairing…. we can say that it was a great success!

Photos are following, so stay tuned!

Family Meal Collective, It Is.

familymealcollective — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:45:14 +0000

We have finally decided on the name for our baby project, and we are very happy with it. The phrase “family meal” has a special soft spot in all restaurant industry people’s hearts, and the word “collective” allows us to collaborate with other artists.

We’ll be doing our trial “art show” run soon and photos from the tasting will be coming soon. Stay tuned folks!
