A La Carte

As part of the ongoing improvement works at Central Station the Arches has temporarily closed throughout January and February. Not wanting to be completely absent through this time, the Arches is supporting temporary events in other spaces around the city.

One of these events, happening in Pollokshields sounds fun but very odd.

"A La Carte is a dinner party with a difference. An interactive performance about the art of dining, it is inspired by evenings around the table with friends, family and strangers. Molly Taylor invites you to come dine with her, and explore what we talk about around the dinner table.

Ticket price includes a three-course vegetarian meal, and guests are free to bring their own bottle. Audience members will be told the full address on buying a ticket."

She's a brave lady inviting a bunch of strangers to her home, not that anyone will be a secret serial killer, but thy might be a serial bore.

It seems to be an extension of a mini-fad that started in London last year for pop up restaurants. People advertising and opening up their homes to strangers each week as small restaurants. As the author finds out in this article in the Independent, the lure of the pop up restaurant is that "It's a little bit Come Dine With Me, a little bit MasterChef and a little bit Through The Keyhole. "

Anyone going along to Molly's next week? Anyone think the pop-up restaurant could catch on in Glasgow?
