An Evening with Tamela: A Living Room Experience at Café Momentum

Some dinners feed you. This one will fill you up.

Join us for an intimate, one-of-a-kind evening as Tamela Davis, mother, wife, certified life coach, philanthropist and self-proclaimed foodie from Walnut Grove, Mississippi, opens her table to you right here in Dallas.

Inspired by the magic of Nashville's Michelin-recommended Tailor restaurant, where meals feel like dinner parties and every dish carries a story, Tamela reimagines Café Momentum as her personal living room for one unforgettable night. You're not a guest at a restaurant. You're family at her table.

The evening unfolds like a night at Tamela's home — cocktails and warm welcomes in the living room, followed by a multi-course Southern feast guided by Tamela herself. As each dish arrives, she shares the memories, the women and the Mississippi roots that shaped her. From Lemon Pepper Wings and Rotel Cheese Dip to Southern Fried Catfish, Turkey Necks, Collard Greens and Sweet Potato Casserole (finishing with Strawberry Shortcake and Cinnamon Rolls fresh from the oven), every bite has a story, and every story has a soul.

Alongside Tamela, the extraordinary team at Café Momentum brings it all to life — the same staff dedicated every day to transforming the lives of justice-involved youth through the power of food, hospitality and belonging. This evening is a proud partnership between Tamela's platform, (Faith, Family, Food & Football), and Café Momentum Founder CEO Chad Houser — two forces united by one belief: a table can change a life.

"Cooking and hosting people makes me happy. My kitchen is my sanctuary, and my table is where walls come down and real connection happens." — Tamela Davis

Come hungry. Leave nourished — in body and soul.
