Everlast’s Supper Series provides a welcoming space for strangers to share meaningful conversation over a unique meal together. With guided questions and family-style menus, each table invites you to be present, feel at home and make genuine connections!
YOU’RE INVITED TO SUPPER
Gather with 10-12 strangers around a table within local community to enjoy dinner! Every meal offers a gentle interruption of our normal routines to remind us that genuine connections can have simple beginnings. By intentionally limiting distractions and surface-level connections, our suppers nurture a space for you to dig in and leave full.
I’m grateful to collaborate with Chef Mariah, a culinary artist dedicated to healing through organic and seasonal food. She thoughtfully created a tapas-inspired menu with farm-to-table produce for you to enjoy!
Your ticket includes a multiple-course family style dinner, local wine, drinks, dessert and a small act of kindness to pass along.

While it sounds scary, it will be totally worth it. Upon arrival, you will be encouraged to leave your phone at the door to foster a present, private and intentional environment.

Yes! Our tables offer 10-12 seats to encourage a comfortable environment for sharing a variety of topics and depths in conversation.
We hope to host more suppers the future, so if you do not find a seat at this one, keep an eye out for the next!

Of course! While we know it is sometimes more comfortable to not show up alone, we encourage you to invite a neighbor or a new friend that you have been wanting to get to know! We want each table to introduce and nurture as many new connections and backgrounds as possible, so we limit each person to one friend, if wanted. We are confident that the structure of supper will not make the solo-attenders feel alone.
The Backstory

It all started with my favorite app, Pinterest. I created a board in college called “Someday Suppers” filled with simple tablescapes that reminded me of home and inspired me to envision a day where I could not only create beautiful tablescapes, but welcome friends and strangers to them.

After moving to Orange County with high hopes for new beginnings, I was faced with the unexpected, but not uncommon, challenge of making friends as an adult. As an extrovert, I showed up to a variety of events alone (run club, pickleball, you name it) and often left feeling more disheartened than encouraged.

With a deep-rooted optimism for future connections, I decided to create what I couldn’t find. After a few years, a lot of courageous moments and the most supportive connections, I am overjoyed to make a small drop in the happily-growing bucket of in-person gatherings rooted in genuine connection. Thank you to everyone who continues to turn my “somedays” into my reality.
