Tender Table seeks out stories about traditions around food, the restaurant industry, food’s impact on the body and body image, and everything in between our sweet, savory, sour, bitter relationships to food.

Tender Table is a storytelling platform for women of color (queer, trans, cis), femmes of color, and gender-nonbinary black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) to share narratives about food and its connections to identity, memory, and community. Through food, we connect with our culture, and at times it is through food that we share our culture with others.

Tender Table provides compensation to all presenters and contributors we work with for their time and labor — thank you in advance for your donations. At Tender Table, all are welcome — expect to be immersed in stories, and sample delicious food prepared by the speakers.
