Fried Chick’n
& Champagne
An act of grace. A table set for you.
as seen in
“Food is more than what’s served on the plate it’s a way to tell stories, celebrate culture, and bring people together.”
— BLACK ENTERPRISE
our philosophy
To feed someone is to care for them.
Our evenings are designed around that adage.
Dinner is served family style not for convenience, but because the act of passing a plate and sharing food is an act of grace.
Our intent for the evening is more than amazing food. We know that powerful things happen when people come together with intention. New friendships. New collaborations. Dare we say,  new relationships. Meet us at the table.
That connection is why we do this.

Connection
The address arrives 48 hours before you do. We have already been there.

We have walked the space, felt the light, imagined you in it. By the time you arrive, every corner of that room has been considered on your behalf.

All you have to do is walk through the door.
What arrives at your table was not chosen from a catalogue. It was created for this night, this room, this moment.

Each experience is led by culinary talent who understand that flavor is a language and texture is a feeling.

The menu is revealed when you sit down. It will never be served again.
Every FCC evening has a sound. Live performances vocalists, bands, ensembles that move through the evening the way a great score moves through a film.

The entertainment is not background. It is part of the story.

A story is written. The guests make it a movie.
Guests have come alone & left with people they will know for years. Strangers who drove in from other states.

People who share a mutual friend neither knew the other had. The meal moves from hand to hand and something begins that we could not have planned for & do not take credit for.

We just set the table.
