Fresh Catch

Either you’re getting old, or the poised, dewy-faced girls at the swanky restaurant are really, really young.

Cancel the emergency injections. It’s Lisa Garza’s Junior Supper Club.

Each month, starting May 1, Garza (co-owner of Suze Restaurant and owner of Pantry Organics) will take ten students (ages 10-13) to top eateries around town to expand their palettes and polish their mores. At Tei Tei, preteen patrons sample a Japanese menu and learn to use chopsticks properly; at Charlie Palmer, it’s all about cooking and cutting steak. (Other spots include Fearing’s, Arcodoro & Pomodoro, and Bijoux.)

Chefs and servers take time to identify ingredients responsible for various flavors, upping the youngster’s culinary acumen.

And to explain that some things get better with age.

For more information and to register, e-mail Lisa Garza at pantryorganics@aol.com or call 214-282-0165.
