After reading Paul Maliszewski's short story in the current Fence, I realized how much I enjoy reading stories centered around dinner parties. The form is so ripe for psychological dissections, asides, odd reactions/habits exposed (the premise of group psychotherapy) that, when done right, never ceases to interest me. I think an entire magazine should be devoted just to dinner party stories. It could go on forever.
