Don't Touch My Plate, Fam!

"The 31 Desires: The HAMU Red Room Experience" is an immersive, one-of-a-kind evening where the worlds of culinary artistry, wine, sake, and music converge. Hosted by Chef Desi San, this quarterly event presents a carefully curated seasonal menu paired with vintage wines and sake, all while unfolding under unique, extraordinary themes.

Set in a red room-inspired atmosphere in Atlanta, GA, guests will indulge in a sensory journey. From the opening cocktail hour to the final "Alchemy Hour," every moment is designed to awaken the senses. The night will feature flavorful culinary creations, soulful tunes, and vibrant energy, creating a space for unforgettable connections, flavor explorations, and pure celebration.

What to Bring:

• A bottle of vintage wine or sake (aged for at least 2 years). Your contribution will enhance the evening’s experience by pairing with the carefully curated menu.
• An open mind to explore new flavors and celebrate community through the art of food, drink, and music.

Dress code:

• Vintage Hogwarts meets Red Room chic. Think elegant with a touch of magic, comfort with style. Channel your inner HBCU graduate and embrace the vintage vibes — whether it’s Afrocentric prints, sleek black attire, or that magical look from your favorite wizarding world. Embrace the vintage and magical vibes — think elegant, classy, with a touch of whimsy. Pair your house colors with elevated casual pieces or wizard-inspired attire for that perfect balance of charm and sophistication. The goal is a balance of elevated casual with a dash of whimsy.

What to Wear:

• For The HAMU Red Room Experience, we recommend wearing the colors of your Hogwarts House to bring some magical charm to the night. Whether you're a bold Gryffindor in red and gold, a cool Ravenclaw in blue and silver, a thoughtful Hufflepuff in yellow and black, or a cunning Slytherin in green and silver, channel your house pride!

• Immerse yourself in an atmosphere that blends nostalgia, magic, and soulful energy. From the moment you arrive, expect to be transported into a world where culinary creativity meets cultural reverence. The theme is sensory — the visual, the taste, the sound — all carefully crafted to awaken your senses.
• DJ Mamiwata will be spinning the perfect blend of beats to set the mood, as her soulful magic fills the air. Favor will be serving up potent potions at the Liquid Garden, an exclusive bar experience that will take your taste buds on a journey.
