INDIE CHEFS PRESENTS

ROAD TO COMMUNE

They nourish & feed you. Let's support them.

We gather in their spaces to celebrate, nourish ourselves, find community, and reconnect. Help us provide the same experience for the chefs four days at a time. The best part? You get an unforgettable experience with extraordinary food in an interactive dinner more akin to theater.

Curious what to expect?

If you haven't experienced it, it's hard to explain. We work the hardest to improve the chef experience and it comes through in the food and positivity during the dinners. 

Guests frequently comment they'd like to see the menus in advance and we understand that desire. However, the format is designed to remove restrictions from the chefs' creative process and that means we don't know the preliminary night dinner menus until typically a week or two before the event. The collaborative menus are not set until the day of so it's as big of a surprise to us as it is the guests.

After a strange, secluded past two years, the 2022 city tour will bring more cities, more dinners, and more chefs – as we pave the Road to COMMUNE. The mission of the Road to COMMUNE is to set the stage for a “rebirth” of the culinary community, creating a safe environment for chefs to network, bond and inspire each other once again. With a goal of inclusivity and expansion, we are widening our reach with a ten-city tour, opening our arms to new and old talent along the way, to allow chefs to forage relationships in – and out – of their market. All cumulating at COMMUNE in Spring 2023, the 2022 tour will be a catalyst for re-envisioning how the culinary community can support and elevate each other, while providing chefs with both tangible and intangible resources along the way.

A first of its kind festival, Indie Chefs’ COMMUNE is a two week long series of micro-events run by a collective of acclaimed chefs. Consider it the “anti-food festival” of the year - a festival that is equitable, gives back to the community, champions social justice, and is committed to addressing systemic issues facing the hospitality industry.
