The Girls' Guide To Love And Supper Clubs - Plot & Excerpts
And, with a week to go until the next installment of The Dupont Circle Supper Club, that’s exactly what I do. I spend the weekend sifting through my recipe files, trying to come up with a suitable theme for our next two dinners. If the food blogosphere is to be believed, The Dupont Circle Supper Club specializes in gourmet comfort food, and so whatever menu I come up with should align with our growing reputation, inadvertent though it may be. After jotting down nine potential themes, I settle on a winner: diner food. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, I never wanted for diner food, whether it was from Bob’s Diner in Roxborough or the Trolley Car Diner in Mount Airy. The food wasn’t anything special—eggs and toast, meat loaf and gravy, the omnipresent glass case of pies—but I always found the food comforting and satisfying, served as it was in those old-fashioned, prefabricated stainless steel trolley cars. Whenever we would visit my mom’s parents in Cranbury, New Jersey, we’d stop at the Claremont Diner in East Windsor on the way home, and I’d order a fat, fluffy slice of coconut cream pie, which I’d nibble on the whole car ride back to Philly.
