About this Event
What happens when the kitchen becomes the stage and the table becomes the conversation?
Welcome to The Table & The Mic, a new live-recorded experience bringing together culinary art, meaningful conversation, and spoken word.
For the pilot episode, Suave the Poet sits down with Chef Chris Dodson, Food Network Chopped Champion and Cutthroat Kitchen winner, for an intimate evening built around food, storytelling, creativity, and poetry.
Chef Chris will bring his artistry to the table while Suave brings the mic—creating an experience that goes beyond a traditional cooking demonstration or poetry show.
Expect real conversation, great food, spoken word, and the opportunity to be part of the live audience for the filming of the pilot episode.
The evening will also feature a poetry spotlight, bringing another layer of live artistry into the room.

About The Table & The Mic
The Table & The Mic explores what happens when two forms of storytelling meet: the stories we tell through food and the stories we tell through words.
Each experience brings people together around a table for cooking, conversation, poetry, and authentic human connection.
This is more than dinner.
This is more than an interview.
This is more than a poetry show.
There’s a story at the table—and a mic waiting for it.
