PARK SLOPE— The latest iteration of last year's underground supper club trend is Jack, a monthly dinner party thrown by food bloggers: "Danielle of Habeas Brulée, floated the notion among fellow food bloggers of leasing a space to start a free-form restaurant where different food bloggers would take turns cooking on different nights...an email with an update about her idea appeared in my in-box: 'Jack is an occasional restaurant...We are open for one seating per night at 7 p.m. on Saturday nights, every other week or so.'" This trend officially has to stop. [Serious Eats]

GREENWICH VILLAGE— Blue Hill chef, locavore extraordinaire, and the king of all things 'haute barnyard' Dan Barber is writing a book. He just signed a deal with agent David Black and is shopping ideas around town: "According to Mr. Barber, the meetings he and Mr. Black have taken so far have been purely exploratory. 'I don’t have a formal proposal,' he said. 'I don’t even know what a formal proposal is!' Instead, he explained, he submitted to editors what is essentially a magazine article not so different in pace or form from his recent piece in The New York Times Magazine about trying to naturally breed almond-flavored carrots."
