About A Razor, A Shiny Knife
Here’s what you know: you’ll be privy to a knife skills demonstration; liquid nitrogen will be involved; you’ll learn the art (and meaning of) sous vide cooking, sip corn whiskey and nosh on small bites. This is an underground supper club and anything can happen.
Hosted by a razor, a shiny knife, this is exactly as thrilling as it sounds; unadulterated and a touch mysterious. Self-proclaimed as “an educational, social and theatrical culinary experience,” this supper club hosts events all over the world and is coming to show Los Angeles what they can do.
It all started at dinner in the summer of 2007. Brooklyn, post-bocce game. Well, boys will be boys, and over time dinner grew in its intricacy to such an extent that your average oven and stove weren’t going to cut it anymore. One friend opened a restaurant in Colombia to high acclaim. Another, well, he transformed that average kitchen into a veritable laboratory of experimental and modern cooking, complete with the likes of infizzilators, vacuum chambers, immersion circulators and a 95-year-old butcher block.
From this kitchen grew a cultural phenomenon where eager participants signed up to engage in three hours of couture cooking in a casual, laid-back atmosphere: you cook, you eat, you watch, you socialize. The original friends who started it all are now the hosts, creators, chefs and instigators, offering expertise and a bit of an apocalyptic air that keeps you on your toes.
Some are simple and some are extravagant; some involve an entire boar while others lend a delicate hand towards caviar; they are all a rousing, delicious good time. For Gilt City members, the chefs behind a razor, a shiny knife are releasing tickets for cooking classes at Surfas, "a chef’s paradise in culver city," on December 2 and 3 for three hours of culinary exploration. Complete with a mixology tutorial featuring corn whiskey from Original Moonshine and plenty of surprises, grab your friends – or an adventurous date – and get ready to sharpen those knifes.
Terms and Conditions For All Promotional Vouchers Purchased Through Gilt City, Inc.
The following terms and conditions apply to all promotional vouchers ("Vouchers") purchased through Gilt City, Inc. ("Gilt City"), except as otherwise specified on any particular Voucher and except as otherwise required by law. In the event of a conflict between these terms and conditions and the actual Voucher, the Voucher itself will control. All persons purchasing, printing, accepting, using or attempting to use any Voucher (each, a "Customer") agree to these terms and conditions.
All Vouchers are promotional in nature and are issued by the participating merchant or vendor ("Vendor") through Gilt City as a service provider. The Vendor is the holder and issuer of the Voucher and under no circumstances shall Gilt City be deemed the holder, issuer or seller of the Voucher. The law applicable to the Voucher shall be the law of the state where the Vendor interaction with the Customer occurs. As the holder and issuer of the Voucher, Vendor is solely responsible for the value and redemption of Voucher and for any and all bodily injury, illness, damages, claims, liabilities and costs suffered by or relating to any Customer and the compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, unclaimed property and escheatment laws relating to the Vouchers. Each Customer hereby knowingly waives and releases Gilt City and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives, from any and all injuries, liabilities, damages, claims and rights of any nature whatsoever arising from any act or omission of the Vendor in connection with the Voucher, the provision of the services and products relating to the Voucher, and compliance by the Vendor with applicable law, including, without limitation, unclaimed property and escheatment laws. Gilt City's sole role is as a service provider for the Vendor, and the applicability and compliance with any relevant law relating to any Voucher is solely determined by and complied by the Vendor.
The Vouchers are coupons that provide a discount price from the actual or retail cost from the Vendor. That discount is available until the expiration date stated on the face of the Voucher. After that time, where and to the extent required by law or allowed by the Vendor, the Voucher may be redeemed by the Vendor for goods or services of the Vendor in the amount originally paid by the Customer to Gilt City and as otherwise set forth on the Voucher. For example, a Voucher purchased for a particular service of the Vendor at the discounted price of $50 (actual retail price of $100) with an expiration date on the discount of six months from a specified date, may be used for the particular service for six months from such specified date; and then if and to the extent required by applicable law, thereafter, the Customer may use the $50 value of the Voucher to purchase other goods and services of the Vendor as set forth on the Voucher. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Vouchers that are redeemable for specific ticketed events, once the event date passes the Voucher expires. Customer's acceptance of any redemption of a Voucher constitutes an acceptance of the redemption and a waiver of any claims associated with the Voucher. The Voucher may not be redeemed for products or services other than those specified on the Voucher or as otherwise specifically permitted by this paragraph and may not be used to pay account balances or for products or services purchased from the Vendor prior to the purchase of the Voucher.
Vouchers are transferable without notice to Gilt City or Vendor. No resale of Vouchers is permitted unless such resale is permitted pursuant to applicable law. Vouchers are not redeemable for cash (in whole or in part) and have no cash value except as required by applicable law. If cash redemption is required by applicable law, the Customer will only be entitled to cash redemption based on the amount paid by the Customer to Gilt City for the Voucher, not the actual or retail cost from the Vendor. Vouchers may not be combined with any other offer, coupon, promotion or discount or certificate and must be used in a single visit to Vendor except as required by applicable law. Limit one Voucher per person per visit or purchase. Neither Gilt City nor Vendor is responsible for lost or stolen Vouchers. If you lose your Voucher, go to the "My Account" section of the Gilt City site and print your certificate. The Vendor will accept the first Voucher presented with the unique number printed on the Voucher. Treat your Voucher as you would cash. Vouchers are subject to any limitations stated on the Voucher or by the Vendor. The issuance of any credits for the Vouchers are at the sole discretion of the Vendor except as required by applicable law. All restaurant Vouchers are valid for dine in only unless otherwise stated on the Voucher. Vouchers may not be used for alcohol, prior balances, shipping or handling, tips or gratuities or other fees except as expressly provided on the Voucher or as allowed by the Vendor and as permitted by applicable law. Unless otherwise stated on the Voucher or disclosed in connection with the purchase of the Voucher by Customer, the Voucher price does not include sales, value added or use taxes, which may be charged to you separately by the Vendor at the time you redeem the Voucher. Any attempted redemption of a Voucher in violation of these terms and conditions will render the Voucher void.
All purchases of Vouchers and other interactions with Gilt City are subject to our Privacy Policy.
