Studio Kitchen
If you are talking about being in Philadelphia on 10/6 you might want to consider Studio Kitchen (http://www.studiokitchen.com/events).
The private chef Shola is scheduling this week's pop-up on Saturday. The one night only theme of "Espana : Classic and Modern Flavors of Spain" sounds very interesting. As with any of his dinners, it will be a meal not to be forgotten.
You can find more info on him and his work by checking out his website to read his blogs or by searching with the keyword "studio kitchen" or "shola" in Chowhound, Yelp or Google.

re: cook262
I was there.
Everything was good, as usual. There was a pine nuts risotto cooked in mushroom sauce, a most unusual dish and, of course, very very tasty. Dessert was a combination of several small chocolate preparations with smoked chocolate powder sprinkled on. I who normally would not touch anything made of chocolate ate and ENJOYED the whole thing.
The power of good food is it makes me very mellow and extremely happy. That's what Studio Kitchen managed to deliver each time I went.

re: cwdonald
There are some new terms in the arena of dining that is just very new to me: 'pop-up' is just one of them. The other is 'collaboration'.
Very new not for the words themselves, but by the way the messages get acrossed - would you believe by twittering? I opened a twitter account but to this day still have no clue how to use it efficiently. Last time a collaboration took place, a fellow Yelper sent me a message saying, "Have you heard...?" and that's how I found out.
I miss the days when I found TV channels by turning a dial and events through reading the newspaper.

Easier than Twitter would be to just read some of the food news sites occasionally, the best is probably Eater Philly: http://philly.eater.com

Where are the Studio Kitchen events held? Our anniversary is Saturday and although we have reservations at Will, I would consider cancelling if we could do this one instead.

re: borntolovefood
A few more questions if someone happens to know the answers...
I see it is BYO. Can we just bring one bottle or would we need to bring more than one to be able to share with everyone else? I have a bottle of sparkling wine I was going to bring to Will to toast our anniversary.
What time does dinner start and how long/late do the dinners go?
What is the dress code? Jacket and tie? Something more casual?
While we were looking forward to Will, I think this might be more exciting.

Arrival starts at 7:00 and dinner starts at 7:30; it usually ends around 10 to10:30. Dress code appears to be 'business casual'.
You can bring your sparkling wine to drink just between you two. Some bring wine to share. I have taken beer, sake, and even water with me. It all depends on what you want to do.

re: Philly Ray
Yes, there will be various glassware for guests to use. I have seen different kinds. Since I am not familiar with the wine-drinking culture, I can't tell what's proper and what's not - just know that no one ever seemed to have any problem in the past.
No tipping. Once you made your reservation (and paid at the same time), there is no additional cost. Since the street parking is free you will be fine even if you come with not a penny in your pockets.
