On the ones and twos, Thai tomorrow at Snackbar

Tomorrow night at 6 p.m., DJ Venus 7, “Diva of the Deep” often seen spinning at Kung Fu Necktie, takes over the kitchen at Snackbar (253 S. 20th) as part of the Rittenhouse boite's Supper Club series hosted by DJ Lee Jones. The Thailand-trained chef is putting out two traditional four-course menus (one vegetarian, one not) for $30 with a Jones-spun backdrop of uptempo house. With 40 already on the books, rezzies are suggested, “but we can always squeeze in a few more,” owner Jonathan Makar reports. “Nights at Snackbar tend to go long, so we'll keep serving till [the food is] gone.” Menus after the jump.
