A restaurant in your living room?

I heard this news item on the Today Programme this morning and thought it sounded a great idea. As part of the Eat Newcastle Gateshead food festival, ten families have opened up their homes for an evening as "underground restaurants". The concept is simple: an amateur cook prepares and serves food for members of the public. There is usually a small charge but for a fraction of restaurant prices, the diners will get a meal that is authentic and distinctive. Check out the story here: a restaurant in your living room. It does sound a little bit like the Infusion formal dinners.
