Apetite Obscure
A Surrealist Dining Collective
Appetite Obscure has run 40+ underground dining events in the San Francisco Bay Area. Co-created by Richie Rhombus and Albert Alexander, with contributions from dozens of artists, Appetite Obscure explores new ways of playing with your food. On a given evening, you might cleave a head of lettuce with a machete, lick your partner’s name off a dangling piece of acrylic, eat slow-cooked ribs off of someone’s bare chest, or escape from heavy ropes on a painted train track while being fed mashed yams.
As a regular contributor and collaborator, Michael produced many dishes for these events, including but not limited to: A soup made to help someone process and transmute their inner demons, a hand harvested tea made from the imbiber’s defense mechanisms, a salad bowl made of the diner’s sense of comfort, and many more.
