Bon Appetit Supper Club & Café

What’s a foodie to do when times get tough? Jaunted has you covered with our list of high-class restaurants with recession-era pricing.

Up next is Bon Appetit Supper Club & Café. The food magazine is sponsoring this pop-up restaurant, which recently took off for it’s second annual outing in midtown Manhattan. The supper club part consists of by-invitation-only dinners, but for the rest of us, the cafe is serving up lunches from celebrity chefs at pauper prices--but only through October 31.

Stop by this week to sample offerings like Mario Batali’s empanada with chorizo, pancetta, peppers and onions ($8); Charlie Trotter’s grilled beef tenderloin and blue cheese salad ($9); and Cat Cora’s chickpea and roasted red pepper soup ($5.50).

And check out our other frugal foodie ideas on Jaunted’s Recession Restaurants Map.

While we're neither expert cooks nor expert actors, we have logged all-too-many hours watching travel shows, and this one wastes far too much time trying to endear its subjects to us through their long, pointless conversations. We have enough of those in our regular lives.
