Together at the Table: A Sunday Brunch

For her birthday, Angelique “Red” Burke wanted to bring it back to an intimate, family-style experience with this home-cooked brunch at Metropolitan Studios.

She’ll be preparing the meal herself, just down the hall from the dining area—with some help, of course. You’ll get to savor some of her favorite dishes—some vegetarian—paired with a fresh salad bar.

YES! We did say there would be CAKE!

Your general admission ticket includes water, orange juice, teas, and coffee, with brunch cocktails available via a cash bar.

VIP guests enjoy premium seating, a complimentary specialty brunch drink or a raffle ticket.

Profits from this event will support the subsidization of training costs for mental health professionals, and lower mental health service costs for marginalized communities, making this celebration as meaningful as it is delicious. Let’s come together at the table and make a difference!
