This episode of the Port City Plate Podcast features a rising star in the culinary scene along Mobile Bay, Amber Harris. Amber and her husband, Hunter, started the Mon Louis Supper Club. Each supper club is a unique culinary experience that held on the shores of beautiful Mobile Bay. Each month, the dinner has a theme that changes depending on the season or the preferences of Amber and Hunter.

In this episode, Amber shares her journey from growing up in Mobile with a love for food, to attending the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. She takes us through her post-graduation adventures, including her time as a private yacht chef and her pivotal role at Sunset Pointe, which truly launched her culinary career in the area. Today, she is the GM at Press N Co., featuring healthy organic options to the community in Daphne.

Amber also discusses the incredible concept behind Mon Louis Supper Club, held at her childhood home, offering a unique dining experience with incredible views of Mobile Bay and creative, seasonal menus. We delve into one of their themed dinners inspired by my book, “A Culinary History of Mobile,” featuring dishes like Alabama’s Pearls, Bama Peanut Cassoulet, and Mobile Bay to Table on the Bay. Amber explains the inspiration and preparation behind these dishes, emphasizing the importance of local ingredients and the rich culinary heritage of Mobile.

We end the podcast talking about their upcoming theme for Mon Louis Supper Club in the month of June and how you can reserve a spot at one of their exclusive dinners. We also touch on her favorite places to eat in Mobile, and introduce a new segment, “Fork in the Road,” where we discuss exciting new food news in the community. Don’t miss this episode!
