🍎 JASPER’S OCTOBER SUPPER CLUB

Italian Harvest & Applecello Supper Club

Autumn in Italy is one of our favorite times of the year. The summer harvest is coming to an end, the markets are filled with apples, eggplant, squash and all the wonderful fruits of the farmers’ summer labor. It is a time to gather around the table, enjoy the harvest and celebrate with family and friends.

For our October Supper Club, our chefs are bringing a little of that Italian harvest tradition to Jasper’s. This special menu will feature the flavors of fall along with local Kansas and Missouri ingredients and, of course, Jasper’s famous Applecello, prepared right here with local Missouri apples. Come hungry, my friends. This is going to be a wonderful fall evening!

No passport needed!

Join Chef Jasper for a delicious afternoon celebrating the cooking of Rome! From neighborhood trattorias to the tables overlooking its beautiful piazzas, Roman cuisine celebrates simple ingredients, bold flavors, and traditions passed down through generations.

Discover the stories and techniques behind these beloved dishes, with recipes to bring a little of the Eternal City into your own kitchen.

SUPPLÌ AL TELEFONO These golden, crisp Roman rice croquettes hide a delicious center of melted mozzarella. Pull one apart and the cheese stretches between the two halves like the cord of an old-fashioned telephone—giving this favorite Roman snack its charming name, supplì al telefono!

PASTA ALL’AMATRICIANA A favorite of Roman trattorias with roots in the town of Amatrice. Savory guanciale, tomatoes, and Pecorino Romano come together in a beautifully balanced sauce that shows just how much flavor a handful of carefully chosen ingredients can deliver.

CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA Chef Jasper’s chicken interpretation of the Roman classic, featuring tender chicken layered with prosciutto and fragrant sage, finished with a delicate white wine and butter sauce. Saltimbocca means “jump in the mouth”—a fitting name for a dish bursting with flavor!

TARTUFO A sweet taste of Piazza Navona! Our inspiration is the famous chocolate gelato dessert created in 1946, just after World War II, at Rome’s world-renowned Tre Scalini. Rich, elegant, and wonderfully indulgent, it’s the perfect finale to our Roman holiday.

An afternoon of cooking, stories, and the pleasures of the Roman table—all right here at Jasper’s!

JASPER’S NOVEMBER SUPPER CLUB

Una Notte in Maremma — A Night in Tuscany

Join Chef Jasper for an unforgettable evening celebrating the legendary cowboys of Tuscany, the Butteri, and the rustic cuisine of the beautiful Maremma countryside!

When most people think of Tuscany, they imagine vineyards, olive groves, rolling hills and charming villages. But there is another side of Tuscany, one filled with cattle ranches, rugged landscapes, centuries-old traditions and Italy’s very own cowboys, known as the Butteri.

The Maremma (pronounced mah-REM-mah) is a beautiful region of southwestern Tuscany stretching toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. For generations, the Butteri have worked this land on horseback, herding the famous Maremmana cattle, wearing their traditional wide-brimmed hats and carrying long wooden staffs called uncini. Their remarkable horsemanship and cattle-handling traditions are an important part of Tuscany’s cultural heritage.

This Supper Club is especially personal for Chef Jasper!

During his travels through Tuscany, Jasper had the extraordinary opportunity to visit the Maremma countryside, enjoy an authentic lunch with the real Tuscan cowboys and watch these legendary horsemen perform their traditional riding and cattle-herding demonstrations. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with wonderful food, fascinating stories and the genuine hospitality of the Tuscan countryside.

Now Chef Jasper is bringing a little of that experience home to Kansas City!

For this special November Supper Club, we’ll celebrate the hearty, honest flavors of the Tuscan countryside with a five-course dinner inspired by the traditions of Maremma. These are the dishes that reflect the spirit of rural Tuscany — simple ingredients, time-honored recipes, fragrant herbs, extra virgin olive oil and food meant to be shared around the table with family and friends.

FIRST COURSE — Ribollita Toscana

A traditional Tuscan farmhouse soup prepared with cannellini beans, kale, seasonal vegetables, rustic Italian bread and extra virgin olive oil. Ribollita means “reboiled,” a delicious example of Tuscany’s cucina povera, where nothing goes to waste.

SECOND COURSE — Pasta alla Butteri

A hearty cowboy-style pasta featuring ground pork slowly simmered with Italian tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and aromatic herbs, finished with freshly grated Pecorino Romano. Rustic, flavorful and inspired by the cooking traditions of the Tuscan countryside.

THIRD COURSE — Bistecca alla Maremmana

Tender grilled slices of beef seasoned with rosemary, garlic, sea salt and Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. Inspired by the cattle-ranching traditions of Maremma, where beef has been an important part of the local cuisine for generations.

FOURTH COURSE — Fagioli all’Uccelletto

Slow-simmered Tuscan white beans prepared with fresh sage, garlic, tomatoes and olive oil, accompanied by golden roasted potatoes. A classic farmhouse specialty and the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats.

FIFTH COURSE — Torta all’Olio d’Oliva

A traditional Tuscan olive oil cake delicately flavored with citrus, served with mascarpone cream and crisp Italian cantucci cookies. A sweet ending to our evening in Tuscany!

AN EVENING OF FOOD, STORIES & TUSCAN TRADITIONS

Throughout the evening, Chef Jasper will share stories from his travels through Maremma, his unforgettable lunch with the Butteri and the fascinating history of Italy’s legendary cowboys. Enjoy a special evening of cooking demonstrations, authentic Tuscan cuisine and the warm hospitality that has made Jasper’s a Kansas City tradition since 1954.
