Last week @frnds.table celebrated its 3rd supper club! 🌶️
When I started Frnds Table, I didn’t exactly know what direction I wanted to take this or what I was doing at times, but I did know I wanted to create a space where people (myself included) were completely pushed out of their comfort zones; from trying new foods to making new friends.

The heart of Frnds is centered around community, conversation and design, and I’ve used food as the catalyst to connect how food can truly shape us culturally. Chicago can be a hard city to navigate as a creative especially for black and brown creatives and I’m incredibly proud that Frnds Table can be one of many spaces for our community.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented @chefkenandrea (@midoritable.chi) for this dinner as well as collaborating with the goat himself @larrytchogninou who put so much thought and intention and design behind the beautiful tablescape.

@franagyei who came onto this project and help mold it to what you saw last Friday!

Our graphic designer, film photographer and resident DJ who literally does it all and does it well @justalisa @alisas.film

@wndrmuseum who opened up their amazing space for us to host this dinner!

@grancoramino for the drink pairings crafted by @princesssaryah_

From the generosity and support of family, friends and strangers, I cannot imagine what @frnds.table would be without everyone who’s given time and energy to this ongoing project. THANK YOU!! If you got this far thank you for reading ❤️

london, we’re here! 🇬🇧

After 3 incredible years of bringing people together in Chicago, we’re so excited to have finally expanded to London. (& no we’re not leaving Chicago just yet so don’t worry ❤️)

A few weeks ago we hosted our first London dinner for a private client! This dinner was inspired by their love for music and culture. We pulled inspirations from @bluenotenyc @bluenotelondon and @thejazzcafe and the energy that makes London so special. 💙

A huge thank you to our lovely chef @tashas.cuisine who created a delicious AfroCaribbean menu inspired by dishes our client loved.

Happy birthday @dhablo!

Subscribe in our bio for the next dinner. See you there 🥂
