About this Event

this friendsgiving season, AS TOLD BY TASTE invites you to step into the dark, and remember through your mouth, not your eyes. a space where food becomes memory, and memory becomes medicine.

through a blind folded, multi-course dinner, guest are invited into a shared expericen of ancestral flavor, collective story, and unseen connection.

each dish, crafted by Chef Dak, draws from flavors that echo migration, survival, celebration, and home.


as the meal unfolds, we are guided by the voice of honored elders, who shared reflections not just of one family or one culture, but of the diasporic story that connects us all.

a table where black, brown, and indigenous, immigrant, and global roots meet in sensory remembrance.


you can expect:

  • a blindfolded 4-course meal inspired by global ancestral traditions.
  • ethnic flavor pairings, each dish a story.
  • storytelling from honored elders who can across generations and cultures.
  • tasting cards and opportunies to reflect
  • a final course shared with open eyes, open hearts, and communal clarity.
  • keepsake blindfold and sensory gift.

whos this dinner for?

black, brown, indegenous, and immigrant communities

queer folks, chosen families, and sacred kin

those healing cultural disconnection

anyone curious about food as ritual, remembrance, and bridge


WHAT'S TASTED IN THE DARK BECOMES SOMETHING THAT WE ALL CARRY FORWARD.
