The Underground Kitchen is experiential dining. It has been called the “most exclusive dining ticket in town.” Our luxurious, intimate, themed events feature four- to seven-course menus created by some of the top emerging chefs in the country. Typically, the locations of our events remain “underground” until forty-eight hours prior to the event to heighten excitement and intrigue.

We give our chefs carte blanche to go beyond their culinary comfort zones to create unforgettable menus that leave a lasting impression.

Bringing chefs, farmers, and niche purveyors closer to our guests is customary at UGK events. We strive to educate consumers about where their food comes from, the history and influences that make our chefs unique, and the care and expertise that is exercised in presenting their dining experience.

The Underground Kitchen believes that great creativity, synergy, and success comes when people are given the opportunity to showcase their skills and be challenged in new ways. UGK is dedicated to promoting a diverse group of chefs, most often seeking out those who are typically underrepresented in the culinary world. We strive to educate our chefs not just about preparation and presentation, but also the business of running a kitchen, partnering with local vendors, farmers, wineries, and constantly evaluating their standards to keep them to the highest level.

In addition, we are committed to educating our guests; about where their food comes from, about how pairings are created, how menus are developed, the details of gourmet techniques, and about the unique backgrounds, talents, and offerings of our chefs, vendors, sponsors, and farmers.
