Cloak & Dagger Dining

There is an underground dining experience in Seattle; call it a food rave. The primo of these is Gypsy where you MUST apply and be accepted as a foodie before you can be invited (I was invited based on my essay from a dining experience in France). The more frequent and less restrictive is Vagabond. Last night was a secret dining experience at Portalis hosted by Vagabond; theme Moroccan. Chelsey, Theo, Jae, Tom and me wined and dined. We shared a table with other foodies. I realized that foodies come in two forms; those who think they are foodies and rather pompous about it and those who are foodies and are purely into the gastronomic experiences of smell and taste and the communal sharing of that experience with friends. We had both at our table. Verdict? We'd do it again! Gypsy here we come!
