Former Cardamom Hill chef Omar Powell launches 1494 Supper Club
The chef spotlights Caribbean fine dining at his invite-only dinners
794
Last June Omar Powell left his post as chef de cuisine at Asha Gomez’s Cardamom Hill. Now he’s taken a page from Gomez, who started Spice Route Supper Club, and started his own club called 1494.
With Jamaican roots and a fine dining background (Bacchanalia, Daniel, and the Atelier), Powell hosted his first event in March, serving Caribbean fine dining. Since then he’s hosted five-course dinners for twenty to thirty guests twice a month at $85 per person, including wine pairings. The location changes each time; past events have been held at Miso Izakaya (with Guy Wong serving as sous chef) and Storico Fresco Pasta.
