for the first volume of our concept kitchen series, @karimrfouad & @seanybonbon created a menu around one seasonal ingredient: figs.

in sylvia plath’s fig tree analogy (from “the bell jar”), her protagonist, esther, describes looking up at an old fig tree and seeing all the possibilities for what she could be in each fig. wife, mother, artist, lawyer, poet. the problem is, she can’t pick which one she wants, so she instead watches them all fall off the branch and rot.

each of our guests were the complete antithesis of that idea. every person at this table is inspired by a wide range of interests and ideas, so we invited them to eat ALL the figs. :)

in keeping with the theme of exploration and play, @almost_adam designed a custom 3D printed keychain for every guest, in response to the question: “what tiny object would your 8-year-old self be obsessed with?”

later, we surprised everyone with the actual items they mentioned in their response :) we saw tamagotchis, glow in the dark stars, cameras, legos, mermaids, and so much more.

we spent the evening eating, drinking, playing, and getting to know each other through our most fundamental childhood dreams and curiosities.

the biggest ever thank you to @fwb.help @laeliatequila &, of course, to @almost_adam for making this possible and reminding us to remember to always keep playing ~

until next time xx

Held inside the stunning @spoonbillgallery in the @villagewgvl, this evening was a celebration of taste, texture, and intentional detail.

Cheers to our partners and guests who made it a beautiful night! More moments to come.
