this friendsgiving season, AS TOLD BY TASTE invites you to step into the unknown, into a dining experience where the guest list remains unseen, but the stories come alive; one plate at a time.
this is not just a dinner party. it is a ritual table. each guest has been chosen for their unique story and triumph , but not announced.
you'll arrive not knowing who is seated beside you; only that each person carries a story of survival, transformation, or return.
as the evening unfolds, you'll be served a four - course meal curated by Dak the flavor keeper, each dish crafted to honor ancestral triumph; rooted in black, indegenous, immigrant, and diasporic food memory.
through out the night, stories will be shared; not from the stage, but from the table itself. some will speak, some will serve, some will simply allow the food to be the medicine that they need during the holiday season.
you can expect:
- a blind guest list, (you won't know who's attending in advance)
- a multi course dinner by Dak the flavor keeper. each dish a story.
- storytelling woven into the meal, featuring voices of guest.
- tasting cards and opportunies to reflect
- no bios, no spotlights, just presence and heart felt connection.
- a closing ritual of recognition
who's this dinner for?
black, brown, indegenous, and immigrant communities
queer folks, chosen families, and sacred kin
those who have lived through something unspoken and are still here, shining.
anyone who finds sacredness in flavor, presence, and stories of survival and triumph.
this dinner is for the unseen, the overlooked, the honred, and the ready. not just to be witnessed, but to be felt!
