The first rule of Jay Ducote’s underground supper club: Don’t talk about Jay Ducote’s underground supper club.
The popular local chef and celebrity has been putting together secretive holiday-themed five-course dinners all around Baton Rouge in recent months. After being a top competitor on Food Network Star there has been high demand for his cooking. But Ducote doesn’t cook in a restaurant, thus the idea of the themed dinners, or “underground supper club” was born.
“I’ve just been looking for ways to be able to cook for people that’s not in a traditional restaurant setting,” Ducote says. “I wanted to show my cooking skills and have a way for people to eat my food, and so the supper club idea just makes sense for that.”
