Who doesn’t like to socialize over a meal with friends? That is the whole premise behind supper clubs. Why not make a New Years resolution to start or join a supper club. The biggest challenge that keeps potential supper clubbers from starting a club is that hosting dinner parties is too much work. If that is the case for you, go to a restaurant. Whatever the case, don’t miss the chance with the New Year, get a group of friends together to socialize over a meal.

If you are a follower of this blog, or better yet, have read Impromptu Friday Nights – A Guide To Supper Clubs, you see some benefits from hosting dinner parties. With some advice (Buy the book) dinner parties don’t have to be that hard. There is also a chance that you know some folks that like to cook.

Our neighborhood group will be getting together in January to enjoy what I am calling the French Bistro Menu. I am a huge fan of French Bistro fare. The classic French Bistro has a relatively small menu of items that are made to perfection. The chef knows what his customers like and he knows what he can make well. Consequently, it makes excellent supper club fare. Here is my feeble attempt:
