Golden leaves, cool air, and the comfort of a slow meal shared.
As the season turns, Main Course closes out with something new—our final gathering of the year will be a Supper Club: a curated, potluck-style dinner.
There are 27 seats at the table. Reserve yours, and sign up on the shared Google Sheet with the dish you’d like to bring and pair. Together, we’ll build a feast that reflects the richness of autumn.
Even though the meal is potluck-style, you can still expect a beautifully styled fall table, complete with curated dishware and glassware. All you have to do is bring a dish or drink and enjoy a gorgeous setting in the garden.
This closing dinner is a chance for me to step out from behind the hosting and sit with you at the table—to gather, savor, and celebrate the season in community.
Main Course in the fall is like slipping into your favorite sweater—inviting, intentional, and best shared with others. Join us as we close the season with candlelight, conversation, and a meal created by many hands.
There is no cost to this dinner you just need to sign up for a dish or a drink. Feel free to also bring an extra drink of choice for you and your friends.
