33 Wine Shop and Tasting Bar in Lafayette Square has launched a dinner series called The Dorm Room. Don’t let the name fool you – this monthly event (to be held in 33’s new east flank) will offer the polar opposite of Hot Pockets and frozen pizza. Using only a hot plate and a microwave, St. Louis’ top chefs will prepare A-plus meals that incorporate a bounty of local ingredients. Session one is scheduled for June 22 with chef Joshua Galliano of Monarch Restaurant in Maplewood. There will be seatings at 6 and 8:30 p.m., and each will accommodate 15 diners. For reservations and more information, call 314.231.9463.
