Here For The Story is a live meal experience where food meets conversation.

For this series, 2 restaurants come together to create a one-day collaborative buffet bringing together bold flavors, cultural influence, and the stories behind the food.

This episode features Manuel "Chubb" Hurd(Soulfull Cocina and Tramesha Wilks-Cruse (Lila Mae's). We will explore the importance of food and legacy.

This is more than just an event. It’s a chance to experience and connect with the people behind the food in a way you don't normally don’t get to.

Throughout the event, we’ll host live, podcast-style conversations with each team diving into their journey, inspiration, and what it takes to build something meaningful through food.

What to expect:
– a curated dinner buffet from both kitchens
– live conversations + audience Q&A
– an intimate, limited-capacity setting
– filmed content for Here For The Food TV
