If we got ten bucks every time we heard this question, we’d be investor-funded-rich as Zomato. We’re sailing into our fourth year of existence and have successfully kept this a raging debate in social circles across the country. But despite the gruelling rumours and slightly strange witch-hunt to unmask the Founders of the Secret Supper Club, we owe a big round of thanks and applause to all our members. Without the stickjaw-sticky loyalty and love by our tightly screened member base who go out on a limb to protect the identities of the DSSC team, we doubt this social experiment would have been this robust a success. It’s because of you, we are what we are.
Running a business in a challenging business climate is a triumph; running a business anonymously in a ferociously intimate and hyper-competitive business climate is like winning the Lottery + Quidditch World Cup + seeing Donald Trump lose the election by 1 vote. But no complaints, as they say: No guts No glory. Which is the thumping mood with which we’re hitting a second city later this year.
DSSC is a tight-knit but hyper-efficient team that has managed to break all rules in most management books. We managed to create our own dictionary, our own rule book, our own way of conducting business, our concepts for others to emulate, our way of building meaningful relationships; all in a covert fashion. No day is the same, and no team member does only one thing – we’re constantly juggling different balls and donning different hats – which is what makes Team DSSC one of the most sought after teams in the country.
We’re mighty delighted to introduce the brains and hearts behind the Secret Supper Club | Part Un:
Miss Strawberry
In the denim midi by bhane.
Meet sweet lil Ms. Strawberry, the lady with the pretty eyes,
The COO is currently winding down a wine-cation & saying italian goodbyes.
She put the Gin in Ginger-Ale and would never share her fries,
At Monkey Bar every Friday, she’s the one who has the best online buys.
Always ready with a plan B, rarely do you see her stressed,
The strongest human vault in the city, she knows all your secrets the best.
If not at Tres, you’ll find her at Cafe Lota with the rest of the secret crew,
She’s so effin’ amazing, that everyone in the city wants her as their boo.
Mister Bira
In the standard shirt by bhane.
Meet laidback Mister Bira, the gent who loves a roaring laugh over a chilled beer,
Always game for a political debate, home-made gajar ka halwa is close & dear.
If not on his desk at work, you’ll find him in the balcony with cuttin’ chai,
The man recently had 4.5 portions of Biryani from Dum Pukht, this isn’t a lie.
Loves a stiff Ol’ Fashioned with an entire bowl of hot popcorn at PCO Delhi,
The man eats more than the team combined, yet doesn’t have the slightest belly.
His fave start to the day involves Sarvanna Bhavan and an angry-cat meme,
He leads execution & events in the city’s coolest & slickest team.
Miss Cheesy
In the boxer top by bhane.
Meet charming Miss Cheesy, the lady who reigns supreme,
To get on her good side, you could get her nuts topped with ice cream.
One of a kind, she’s the coolest boss who pampers us silly,
With smashing dessert from Big Chill or her fave Garlic Bread from Indigo Deli.
On weekends you’ll find her prepping brekkie, fresh & hot,
While dreaming of hot bread in Scandinavia, have you been there? You ought!
You’re bound to spot her with a classic mojito in her hand,
If not she’s probably out travelling the world with her old man.
Mister Brew
In the khakis by bhane.
Hail Mister Brew, the gent who is the King of Design,
For all special eves, Olive Bar & Kitchen, is where he wants to dine.
If you’re talking of fruit, Kiwi’s his fave, as you can see,
When it comes to dessert, a Blueberry Cheesecake will make him shout out in glee.
This cool cat ain’t no Heston Blumenthal but he does love to eat,
If you’re going to Italy, could you please book him a seat?
If you’re looking for good music, then he’s your man,
After 3 Whiskey Sours he has them moves, oh yes he can.
Miss Bacon
In the midi skirt by bhane.
Meet delightful Miss Bacon, the lady who worships truffle and avocado toast.
If you don’t find her at Artusi, you’ll find her tucking in appams at Coast.
Meticulous at work and chill on vacay, she can glug down Tequila all day.
She handles the numbers for the Club, keeping all our investors happy & gay.
She’s the one you need to call when you’re planning a food trail across USA,
Stops will include diners, food trucks, vineyards & speakeasies from bay to bay.
Obsessed with cats and stationery, she likes her dessert boozy & eggs runny.
She’s getting an Ol’ Fashioned at PCO tonight, why don’t you join this happy bunny?
We are mighty stoked to announce that we’re hitting our second city this year and would love your continual support and love; watch this space for more updates. To be a part of this bada$$ crew, tell us why on hello@theideaslab.com.
Peace. And Food. (And far too much Tipple). You can shop our looks from DSSC fave, bhane.
