SUMMARY:Valentine's Day SUPPER CLUB: Metaphysical Meat Joy by Mikiki
DESCRIPTION:Roses are red\nGender is performative\nLet’s make Valentine’s Day\nLess heteronormative \nThe inimitable Mikiki\, Canada’s sultriest #SlopQueen returns to The Depanneur for their 5th annual Drag Valentine’s Day Dinner. An immersive and interactive food experience unlike any other\, teetering tipsily between drag cabaret\, performance art\, academic lecture\, political protest\, and dinner party. Served in full drag regalia and interspersed with songs\, this collision of high-concept dining and low-brow humour is a Valentine’s Day that is fearless\, funny\, and truly provocative. \nRead more about Mikiki in this feature essay from The Depanneur Cookbook  \nPioneering performance artist Carolee Schneemann and her colleagues first performed Meat Joy at the First Festival of Free Expression in Paris in May of 1964. A group of men and women\, stripped to their underwear\, danced and writhed around with each other on plastic sheeting\, while rubbing raw fish\, chicken\, and sausage\, as well as wet paint\, onto their bodies. The work was simultaneously erotic\, disgusting\, comic\, choreographed\, and spontaneous. Meat Joy was a celebration of the flesh that verged on ecstatic ritual. \nMikiki picks up where this leaves off\, playfully digging into the places where food intersects inwardly with our senses\, memories and identities\, and outwardly with the politics and economics of production and consumption.\n—– \nAmuse bouche (literally); a little something to amuse your mouth. Shiso leaf with puffed rice\, candied chilies and Pop Rocks. \nSome palate cleansing action\, TBD \nChawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) with gravy paint\, sprouted fenugreek seeds and tong ho (chrysanthemum leaves) \nWhitefish poached in kreung (Cambodian yellow curry paste)-infused oil\, with a saltfish & brewis (East Coast hardtack) purée\, dried shrimp & surimi salad \nCzernina (Polish blood soup) with gluten-meat and noodles \nGrass jelly with pork floss cookies \nFoie gras macaron with mincemeat gelée & meat cream \n—– \n$89 +HST \n—– \nMikiki has been feeding friends and lovers in many kitchens across the country and now would love to feed you. They have worked with food as an artist and catered many gallery openings along with their day jobs in the social service sector talking about sex and drugs (and occasionally rock and roll). @mkkultra \n—–\nEvery weekend The Depanneur invites a guest chef to host a fun\, family-style dinner party.
