The supper club \u2013 cheekily dubbed Windy City High \u2013 is an offshoot of California-based brand Herbal Notes<\/a>, an experiential platform determined to restructure the conversation surrounding marijuana in America.<\/p>\n

Hoping to break from the dirty-bong-water stereotype that is stoner culture, owner Manny Mendoza is teaming up with rock-star Chicago chefs Lobo Rey and Daniel Espinoza to deliver diners with an 6-course, upscale, cannabis-infused meal. In addition to the food itself, the $125 ticket will get each dinner guest some lively debate, a weed-based drink and a take-home bag of high-end edibles, for good measure.<\/p>\n

The goal? To create a safe space in which we can curate meaningful dialogue about health, legalization and civic responsibility in new-weed culture<\/p>\n

Though not strictly legal<\/em>, Mendoza has already gotten over 40 requests from Chicago marijuana enthusiasts. Priority will be given to those who hold authorized medical cards, of course.<\/p>\n

And while I can’t in good conscious tell you where Windy City High is going down, I can<\/em> say that if the pop-up goes on without a hitch, Mendoza definitely has plans to hit up Chicago again soon, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n
