we have a few new faces around here and wanted to take a sec to tell you a little bit about ourselves 👩🏻‍🐰‍👩🏼

we met back in 2015 while we were both working at @aatxesf and @cafedunord and over time (and many nights at @blackbirdbarsf 😅) became best friends over our shared love of food, wine and travel.
A few years later we went off to work at different restaurants in the city, Natalie behind the line at @flourandwatersf and Madison on the floor at @chefico. for a few years we would only see each other for our once a week post-shift wine tasting, birthdays, holidays and random coincidental days off that luckily aligned. then the pandemic hit and we were left missing each other, our old lives and the connection that restaurants bring people.

during that time we started doing small outdoor pod dinners and contactless deliveries to try and help bring some of that connection back, from there it slowly blossomed into the boutique events business that we are today. throughout the years we’ve been able to travel all around southern Italy together, we’ve cooked for weeks up in the trinity alps, and have done events large and small all across the state.

we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, celebrated our wins, supported each other through losses. we’ve almost killed each other at times but there is no one else we’d rather do this with. cheers to many more decades spent creating connection and memories together 💕🥂

ps - swipe to the end for oldest photo of us from 2016 😂

✨OOOOH SF✨

You and all of these people will always have such a big part of my heart. SF is where I started my career and formed some of my closest friendships. It’s funny what opening restaurants as line cooks & fresh bb managers and running pasta station on a chaotic Saturday night can do for those tight-knit bonds. I may not have seen some of them in a decade but it was just as though no time had passed. 🤗🥰✨

We’re obv older and some of us are running big restaurants and others of us are running our own private businesses but I’m so glad no one has reallllly changed. Love all of these people (& Celeste! 💫) so much and even had a few bonus run ins around town. SF is a special special place and I can’t wait to get back up there. Thanks to everyone that made time to hang with me pictured and not pictured! 🤗🥰💗✨
