We’re headlong in the throws of a dining revolution. Not to be mistaken with a “Food Revolution” (we’ll leave that to Jamie Oliver), but a revolution in the way in which we dine. What we’ve defined as “fine dining”(over the past century), has inventively been put on its head by adventurous diners and restaurateurs over the last few years. The pop-up restaurant, the food truck, the private clandestine supper club experience, they’ve all been well documented and righteously explored. But for a group of NYC-based chefs and cooks and supper clubbers, that wasn’t good enough. This past Sunday, shortly after 1pm, a group of diners boarded the L Train in Manhattan and entered a world visited only in the writings of Hemingway. The glory days of the Dining Car are back . . . for a limited time only.
