I just learned about this in today's Gear Patrol email.
An interesting option for folks who want to entertain with the minimum of fuss - variable cost.
Kitchit.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

I'm currently advising the team behind Kitchit and I think they're doing a fantastic job. So far, people who have tried it rave about the experience. Private Dining used to be something that you had to be in the right social circles to even know that it existed and I think it's great that Kitchit is democratizing the experience and making it accessible to everyone.
If you're interesting in doing a Kitchit dinner, PM me and I can try to hook you up with some kind of eGullet discount. If you have any questions, let me know and I can get someone from the team to reply here.

Pretty much every dinner I do now someone mentions this. Wonder if it's a good or bad thing for my little business...
For me you really need a mix of cooking and social skills. I love to go to these random kitchens, meet new people and really just talk food all night. I have worked with a lot of cooks that I just couldn't see sparking up a conversation with a random person.
