Patrick Hieger of "restaurant and culinary collective resource" gastroGIANT (and formerly the sous chef at La Condesa) is starting a sort of underground supper club/pop-up combination called Open Kitchen on April 23. He'll serve five dinners at a secret location, each focused on one of the places that inspired Hieger's cuisine: Missouri, Chile, Miami, New York, and, of course, Austin. (Quail eggs! Lime-roasted chicken!)
The first dinner will take place on April 23 and they're scheduled through late May. Each dinner costs you $75 and they're all BYOB.
