Oh yes, we’re making a habit of it. Being on the air, that is.

Today’s Radio Boston PRK segment focuses on the city’s underground supper club culture. Whether it’s O.N.C.E. or Feast MASS, or perhaps the previous Love + Butter, what’s all this about dining incognito?

We sent Radio Boston’s Adam Ragusea to experience O.N.C.E. CHEESE and he truly captures the experience in his six minute piece.

We’ll also open up the conversation and welcome JJ Gonson of O.N.C.E. and Lucia Jazayeri of the new Feast MASS. Subjects on the menu: why do this in restaurant-rich Boston? Is this even legal? What’s the allure?

We really want to know your thoughts. Have you been to one of these dinners? What do you think of this food “counter-culture?”  What are the clubs we DON’T know about?!

Make sure to tweet or Facebook us at RadioBoston beginning at 3pm. You can also call in with your comments at: 1-800-423-8255, or 1-800-423-TALK.

If you miss the LIVE conversation, don’t worry.  We’ll post the segment HERE after the show.
