SC3:Return of the Za June 8, 2009
Posted by Eli in : Uncategorized , trackbackTis summer time, so that can only mean one thing. SEQUELS! Big budget, multi-set piece, celebrity filled tweaks on an existing formula that brought home the bacon the first time, so why not do it again (and again, and again…).
Super Club IS in Hollywood, so in the spirit of the great American blockbuster, we decided that for the sequel to “Supper Club 2: Appetizers” we’d go with a tried and true – the pizza party – but improve on it and make it all our own. So in true Hollywood ”take an existing concept” fashion, we unveiled “SC3: Return the Za”, the Supper Club’s third incarnation.
Our Super Club prides itself on setting the bar high (like achieving at least a 1:1 ratio, persons to bottles of wine consumed) but I was pretty surprised to see how all out my friends at 8449 had gone to make this a truly memorable feast. Not only is 8449 (http://eightfourfournine.blogspot.com/) an unbelievable apt, but they got all Martha Stewart on us and pulled out all the stops for SC3:
Martha’d say of the above: “This table setting is rustic, simple but elegant and ready for guests to cram together and share in an unforgettable meal. Now i’m gonna go change into one of my 50 pastel polo shirts and brush my horses.”
While people we’re casually strolling in, we started with some appetizzees. Mozza is an 8449 favorite so we had some tasty Silverton/Batali creations. I made a Italian stuffed pepper bite size app by slicing baby peppers lengthwise then layering mozzarella cheese, sausage sauteed with garlic and heirloom tomatoes, basil and oregano and then a generous shaving of parmesan cheese over the top. In true Freshman in the Kitchen fashion, it was super easy and took about 12 minutes total including ‘melt time’. There were none left by the time we started making pizzas so I’m going to have to go out on a limb and say that’s made the cut for cbook numero dos.
(Not pictured are the goat cheese stuffed figs wrapped in applewood bacon that were soooo rich, Robin Leach popped out of no where to tell us just how rich they were).
Once we got down to the dirty dirty making pizzas, I constructed somewhat of a masterpeice with my buddy Aaron. Once we had the crust, we gave it a generous heaping shmear of the homemade pesto, then layered grilled zucchini, small peices of broccoli, large leaves of basil, rosemary roasted crimini mushrooms, goat cheese, salt and pepper and some dried oregano. It was essentially the best pizza I’ve ever had. Below is a killer action shot from before we got all the toppings on.
Here’s also a nice shot of the island full of some toppings and some Za. I spent all night waiting to shout out any of my favorite pizza related movie lines but Sal and Mookie from Do the Right Thing don’t go more than 2 words without dropping F bombs and the right opportunity never presented itself.
For any of the below recipes, just contact us through the site . In this economy, we are gonna have to ration them out, so just 1 recipe per person. So if you want to collect all 4, you are gonna have to be sneaky and get your friends to email us.
1) rosemary roasted crimini 2) sausage stuffed mushrooms 3) mini pepper pizzas 4) goat cheese stuffed figs wrapped in applewood bacon
