What is a Wacky Foodie White Elephant? We will conduct our Foodie White Elephant with the traditional number pulling and rounds (limit 3 steals per gift). But our tradition (going on 20+ yrs) is to invite guest to use their imagination on the gifts and bring something Foodie- creative, fun, wacky or novice. The goal is to get the room to clamor for the gift you brought (groans are good too!) Everyone should bring a wrapped gift to play~
We will celebrate in a lovely turn of the century off the Jardin. Please only RSVP if you are positive you are attending the cook is buying ingredients based on headcount.

We’re finally taking this show offline! Come celebrate with us as we bring our digital community into the real world, where conversations happen face to face and the only algorithm is good vibes.
Join us for a complimentary cocktail
and nibbles on us, because nothing says “we appreciate you” like free food and booze. Christy of Clandestine Cuisine and Kat Sparks will be preparing tasty complimentary nibbles. Our resident mixologist, Leif from Flava, will be running a cash bar with wine and drinks so creative, you’ll want to know his secrets. Plus a welcome cocktail on us!
It’s time to put faces to profile pictures and turn all those online connections into real friendships. Can’t wait to see you there!
