Then the advent of The Chef Supper Club, a terrific new initiative from the imaginative culinary brains of Mark Wooderson and Damien Grey, is likely to be right up your epicurean alley.
Featuring three key experiences; ‘Bring the Restaurant Home’, ‘From Scratch’ and ‘Potions’, the new venture promises to deliver a special Michelin-style experience while offering diners a unique opportunity to learn and interact with some of the most creative people currently working in the world of food and beverage.
Marrying great quality ingredients with high-production virtual experiences, The Chef Supper Club uses a combination of live interaction and hands-on culinary action to recreate the atmospheric thrill of luxury restaurant dining in the comfort of your own home.

Donegal chef Ciarán Sweeney will be first to host a ‘Bring the Restaurant Home’ experience on Saturday 11th September for the chef supper club. The former Head Chef at Forest & Marcy, Dublin will be showcasing his menu live from his kitchen at the Olde Glen Restaurant in Glen village, Carrigart, Donegal where Ciarán now resides.
The five-course extravaganza includes such delights as Beef and Stout Brioche, with Oyster Emulsion, Crab Tartlet and signature Olde Glen ‘Colcannan’ with Turf Smoked Ham Hock. Yum!
