About this Event
"How you doin'?" Savor Moxie presents "Friends" Giving, an upscale holiday dinner experience entirely dedicated to the beloved, iconic sitcom. It’s time to grab your favorite Thanksgiving pants (the maternity ones from Phoebe will do just fine!) and head over to our table. We are pivoting away from your standard, predictable holiday dinners for a night of pure, unadulterated sitcom nostalgia reframed through an elegant, chef-driven lens.
Our multi-course menu is a direct tribute to the gang’s most memorable kitchen triumphs and historic holiday disasters. We begin the celebration with the legendary "Moistmaker" Crostini, capturing all the savory perfection of Ross’s prized post-Thanksgiving sandwich. Next, enjoy Monica’s obsessively perfect "Real Good Salad," followed by a rich, comforting Lasagna—Joey approved.
For the centerpiece, we are doing the unthinkable: a highly sophisticated, savory recreation of Rachel's disastrous Traditional English Trifle. Our chefs has carefully balanced the layers so that it actually tastes incredible (we promise, absolutely no sweet custard, jam, or bananas, and definitely no "tastes like feet!" reactions). Finally, we finish the night with a dessert so good you'll want to eat it straight off the hallway floor with Chandler and Rachel: a slice of the legendary baked Cheesecake from Mama's Little Bakery. Pull up a chair to the table where comfort meets your favorite television memories. Pivot quickly—tickets for this nostalgic holiday affair are highly limited!
