Stoned Supper Clubs with Chef Hawaii Mike Salman

Different Leaf: the Podcast

Infused dinner clubs have grown in popularity as the perfect way to connect over cannabinoids and cuisine. In recent years, the speakeasy-style suppers have come above ground, offering more consumers the chance to eat their greens and bond with their communities.
In this episode, host Brit Smith talks with Chef "Hawaii" Mike Salman, founder of Chef for Higher in Brooklyn, New York, about what goes into hosting dope multi-course fine dining experiences.
He discusses how legalization affected his dinners – which have been going on since before New York state legalized weed – and covers how they design their menus, which are curated for each supper club event. They also discuss infusing cannabis as another ingredient to elevate the dining experience and picking the perfect dosages of THC and CBD.
Then they dig into the importance of education and empowerment during the meals, and how Chef for Higher is melding the feelings of celebration, tradition, and community all with the help of the cannabis plant.
