League of Extraordinary Gentlepeople

The Extraordinary Dining Society

Childhood: Peas in the cafeteria (smelled like feet). You whined, but you dined.

Adulthood: Tasting menu in Paris (kind of did, too). You wined, you dined.

Take things to the next level at The Extraordinary Dining Society, a crazy expensive dining club dedicated to one-of-a-kind, ultra-luxurious spreads.

Sommelier Jake Kosseff (formerly of Campagne) founded the club as a place for like-minded foodies to indulge in out-of-this-world food and wine pairings. Each dinner features insanely rare vintage wines with no-holds-barred nine-to-twelve-course meals by the likes of Jason Wilson (Crush), Johnathan Sundstrom (Lark), Thierry Rautureau (Rover’s), and Keith Luce (The Herbfarm).

Start saving now for an upcoming event fashioned after meals served in Russia’s Imperial Court. Cost is upward of $1,000 a head (yes, really), which may or may not be worth a dinner of epic proportions.

But certainly promises to keep your taste buds on their toes.
