About this Event
Each bite prepared by Chef Nana Wilmot tells a fascinating story of family, love and resiliency. This dining experience will prove to be no different! ?
Embark on a culinary excursion with Michelin-trained private chef and founder of the Love That I Knead supper club for a dining experience unlike any other! Since her celebrity debut on the Bravo hit series, Top Chef, Nana’s growing demand has left her missing her more intimate storytelling roots. Here to re-engage with those roots, Nana will join us at Fitler for a family-style supper club rooted in Afro-indigenous culinary traditions.
Each plate shares a unique story of how West African cuisine has had a remarkable influence on many dishes we know and love today.
Celebrate with us the rich history that is Afro-indigenous cuisine through Nana’s innovative take on Southern-style cooking and other culinary traditions where Black influences are present.
Guests are invited to arrive at 5:30pm, with the seated starter course served promptly at 6:00pm. From there, Chef Nana will delicately walk us through the remaining courses all while capturing the brilliant history and stories of cultural preservation and resilience!
