Can you duplicate the supper club experience at home?<\/p>\n

The question was recently posed to me by Tribune Company food writer Bill Daley. At first I thought it was a doubtful proposition since supper clubs are so much about destination.<\/p>\n

But then I looked at my home tiki bar.<\/p>\n

And how the older I get the earlier I have supper.<\/p>\n

I reflected on how the best supper club recipes were, in fact, created at home and popularized in family owned supper clubs.<\/p>\n

I walked into my kitchen and saw the very cool Pflatzgraff Lazy Susan I recently picked up for $15.75 at the Old Towne Antique Mall in Kewaunee, Wis. en route to a book event at the Sister Bay Bowl in Door County.<\/p>\n

Platzgraaff has been making ceramic house wares for 200 years out of York County, Pa..<\/p>\n

The Lazy Susan was a staple of the 1960s Midwest supper club scene and my research concluded it is fading away.<\/p>\n

But real Lazy Susan freaks should head to Bo Diddley’s hometown of McComb, Ms. and check out the Dinner Bell.<\/a><\/strong> You can eat outstanding fried chicken while sitting around a huge Lazy Susan. This place has always been a must stop when I am driving from Chicago to New Orleans for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.<\/p>\n

Here is Bill Daley’ report which appeared in the Baltimore Sun<\/a> <\/strong>as well as the Chicago Tribune.<\/p>\n

So now I think I can pull this off.<\/p>\n

I have the home-made recipes (see the recipe category of this website.)<\/p>\n

I have several vintage supper club albums for soft background music\u00a0 (see Supper Club Music)<\/p>\n

I already have dim lights because of my tiki bar escapism. Maybe I’ll go buy a Schlitz beer neon sign,<\/p>\n

And make me a Brandy Old Fashioned.<\/p>\n
