Sometimes this Monday Night Supper Club of mine likes to break the rules. Don’t tell anyone, but, sometimes, just sometimes, we like to go out together on nights other than Mondays. Blasphemous, I know…

When an interesting food-related event catches our eye, it’s hard to resist attending it. Such is the case with a documentary screening this Friday night. As most of you know, we are in the middle of the Calgary International Film Festival right now.

This year, they have a line-up of amazing films and the one in particular that caught my eye is ‘El Bulli: Cooking in Progress’. A documentary about an extremely well-known Spanish restaurant that stretches culinary limits in ways you can barely imagine. The force behind this restaurant is less kitchen and more laboratory. A cooking process which definitely has to be seen to be believed!

Sounds cool, right? I’m not THAT experimental in the kitchen, but culinary gastronomics definitely appeal to me; they’re very intriguing. Perhaps one day I’ll try to make a roast turkey caviar with whatever fancy machine it is that El Bulli uses. Until then, I’ll just watch them do the interesting stuff on the big screen.

If you’re interested in going to see the ‘El Bulli: Cooking In Progress’ documentary, click here for the full details.

It’s screening this Friday, September 30th, as well as Sunday, October 2nd. The Monday Night Supper Club crew will be viewing the film on Friday night, and then headed to JAROblue (JAROblue is a partner of CIFF, where you receive 20% off your bill with a festival ticket stub! Sweet!) afterwards for some post-film eats! As well, just because CIFF is so charming, they’ve provided me with a top secret code to save $2 on each ticket you buy to one of the screenings!

To save $2 on your purchase of tickets to this film, enter the code DOCS2011 at the payment screen.

Now, use that $2 and get some popcorn…That’s an order!
