Beginning this month, Family Records and our dear friend Heather Cahill, founder and chef for One Big Table, will be teaming up with Family Records to bring you “Family Dinner Nights”. Each month, a different Family Records’ recording artist will be setting up shop to dine with you and share their music post dinner. This month, Matt Singer and friend of the family, Taylor Brown. Family Records provides the music, One Big Table the food/drinks/setting/everything else.

One Big Table is a speakeasy style supper club, set in a Brooklyn loft space. On the most basic level, it’s a dinner party where $45 will get you a 5-course meal and unlimited wine. It’s rooted in the beliefs that dinner is a more enjoyable experience when you know that the things you’re eating and drinking are sustainably produced, locally acquired from farmers who were paid fair wages for their labor, and that even the dishes you eat off of have a story connected to social justice. Two chefs, a server, and a bartender will be at your service. Just so you get an idea check out last time’s menu:

Course 1: Hors D’ouvres - Hoeffner Farms Sweet Potato and Apple Souffles with Caramel, Flying Pigs Farm Bacon and Pecans + Red Jacket Orchards Pear and Brie Tartines
Course 2: Soup - Hodgson Farms Curried Squmpkin Soup
Course 3: Entree - Di Paola Farms Roasted Turkey with black Truffle Butter and white wine gravy OR Locust Grove Farms Cornbread and Cranberry stuffed sugar pumpkins with Migliorelli Farms Kale and Bulich Farms mushroom gravy OR Graisin Angus Acres Wine braised short ribs with Migliorelli Farms kale
Course 4: Salad - Hawthorne Valley Farms Brussels sprout and green bean salad with morels and a creamy hazelnut shallot vinaigrette
Course 5: Dessert - Hodgson Farms Kabocha Squash Custards with salted graham cracker crumble
