I am so pleased I got to attend this before COVID-19 shut down all my social/blogging engagements. It was just a perfect evening of meeting a small group of wonderful new foodies, in a lovely atmosphere, over 5 delectable and creative courses, not to mention appetizers and cocktails. Chef Steve Coupet, @touchef.coupet Haitian-American, but really a New Yorker, is a personal chef with a love of entertaining. He’s been doing these intimate PopUp Dinners in Harlem, and decided the last day of Black History Month would be a good time to host one in Philly. He found me on Instagram and asked if I’d help spread the word. And also invited me to join the evening. The event was limited, but open to the public with registrations on Eventbrite. Once registered, guests were told the exact location would be revealed a week prior to the dinner. When I arrived at the address, I thought a mistake had been made, as it was a residential home on a newly trendy street in Fishtown. No mistake. Ingeniously, he had rented out an entire townhouse from Airbnb to use to host the dinner. This way he and his partner Corrina, owner of @harlem.roots (Look for upcoming separate post) had a place to stay in Philly, a nice size kitchen in which to prepare the meal and we the guest, could have cocktails and apps in the living room, while waiting for the dinner to begin – all much under the cost of renting an event space or restaurant...
