DINE WITH DEZ

Dine With Dez is an immersive food experience focused on the exploration of conversation and cuisine. Our first experiment has been to curate a series of intimate dinners hyperfocused on connection. What do you do in a space of unfamiliar faces? How do we create the spark that turns a stranger into a friend? Our newsletter will give you a wider retrospect of not just our journey but our full thought process as we continue to grow as well as recommendations for where to eat, stay, and party across the world.

To Our Community

Wow, time truly does fly when you’re having fun! It’s been our greatest pleasure to embark on this unexpected journey this year. Who knew that the dinner table would become the new dance floor, a place of communion and a reconstructed form of holding space. We served togetherness, healing and prosperity on a platter, and fed a plethora of thought provokers in more ways than one. In a world of malice built from hatred we fought the boundaries of being misunderstood. Community fights oppression single handedly by providing unity to all who stand as a unit. Now, we don't all have to come from the same background or have the same views to love, respect and support each other. That level of grace, that level of kindness moves mountains and a force our oppressors can not defeat. This holiday season, the Dine With Dez team celebrated the opportunity we got this year to try something new which opened up unimaginable doors. From going to Coachella & throwing a 200+ person brunch with Galore Magazine and Cordell Broadus to celebrating NYFW with Jojo Siwa then wrapping up September fashion month by doing two dining experiences in the City Of Lights, Paris - we created memories that will live on for lifetimes. This wouldn’t be possible without you, our readers & audience, whose curiosity brings you to us and we thank you for your exploration! 

Our last dinner of 2024 took place in the same city we started in, Miami, with the backdrop of Art Basel as our canvas. We painted a vivid and unforgettable evening that was definitely one for the books! The theme was all about “giving flowers” which was fitting as we sat in the Secret Garden of The Broken Shaker. Below, dive deeper into the fantasy that was our first anniversary dinner!

For 2025, we want to hear more from you! We have so many exciting dinners and events planned that we can’t wait to share, but we also want to hear your feedback. What’s something you want to see more of or a destination we should keep on our radar for the next dinner? Email us, dm us, or even meet us outside!

We look forward to having each and everyone one of you at our table in 2025! Live, Love, Dine!!

Warm Wishes,

Dine With Dez
