Imagine walking into an artist’s working studio and sitting down to a fine dining experience with a group of diverse and interesting people. Surrounded by paintings and artist’s materials, you relax as you enjoy a remarkable meal prepared by a world-class chef. Conversation flows freely, and the tinkling of silverware and laughter melds into the background. This is what San Francisco-based trio Heather Day, Ben Roche and Michelle Wei call Studio Table.
A dining concept that unites creativity in many forms, Studio Table brings strangers together for one-of-a-kind meals, each centered on a different, thought-provoking theme. Held once a month in artist Heather Day’s live-work studio space in San Francisco, Studio Table personally invites 14 guests to come together for a five-course dinner prepared by renowned chef Ben Roche. Each Studio Table evening serves as a way to challenge the norms and expectations of social gatherings, while simultaneously opening doors to San Francisco by connecting people to others they might not have met otherwise.
Dinners are generously sponsored and paid for by supporting companies. The backbone of the concept provides for a carefree dining experience, allowing people to organically share ideas, meet new friends, and enjoy a beautiful meal in a creative space without worrying about who’s getting the check.
