In recent weeks, many across our city have been navigating disruption and recovery. Moments like these remind us why gathering around food matters. Food is care made visible. It is dignity practiced. It is one way we remember our responsibility to one another.
Our next Simmer Dinner invites us to come together around the table for an evening shaped by heritage, story, and shared work. This dinner offers a taste of Guyana, the only country in the world that produces all the food it needs through regenerative agriculture. Rich in natural resources and deeply rooted in environmental stewardship, Guyana is a place where abundance is cultivated with care and where warmth lives at the center of the table.
We are honored to welcome The Pepper Pott, a Caribbean culinary group led by a mother-and-son duo whose cooking carries generations of knowledge forward. Their food reflects tradition held with intention, and hospitality offered with deep care, reminding us that nourishment is as much about connection as it is about flavor.
For this installment of Simmer, guests can expect:
A thoughtfully curated four course meal featuring authentic Guyanese flavors.
Signature Caribbean cocktail or mocktail crafted to complement the menu.
Stories shared behind each course and the cultural roots that inform them.
A dietary inclusive menu with flavorful options for gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters alike.
A vibrant, intimate setting designed to feel like dining in a South American kitchen.
This dinner is for lovers of bold flavors and rich cultural storytelling. It’s an invitation to savor, sip, and soak in the warmth of the Caribbean.
Tickets are priced at $90 per person for general seating. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for $125 each and include:
Chef’s counter seating with an opportunity to interact with Chef Karen of The Pepper Pott
1 additional course
1 additional speciality beverage pairing
A $20 Pepper Pott Gift Card
When you join us for this dinner, you support more than an evening together. You help sustain the relationships and systems that allow us to keep growing, cooking, and sharing nourishing food across Nashville. Care does not end when the meal does. It continues because people choose to show up.
