Guerrilla Dinners Mission:

Guerrilla Dinners is an alternative dinning project that draws from the history of secret supper clubs and underground dinners. Using the idea of a roaming restaurant, we aim to bridge the art and food community by offering affordable fine dining in unconventional settings. Our project seeks to foster a community by creating a dialogue that would not normally happen in a typical restaurant. Mixed seating and "inter-course mingling" will facilitate new friendships among like-minded individuals. It is our hope that the Guerrilla Dinners will roam among various venues in the city carrying the community with it.
