IN-HOME with HOMESPUN ATL

IN-HOME-GATHERING-PHOTO-BY-PHIL-SANDERS-2

If you've been to either our pop-up brunch or dinner, you know the routine...sit down around the table, meet new people, and enjoy an artisan meal. Hosting these gatherings is our favorite time of the month!

We are inviting YOU to join us in the hosting. Yes, you can have friends, neighbors, and coworkers over for dinner and cook a delicious dish. In fact, we encourage you to do so! However, if you're looking for something a bit different, we invite you to take advantage of our In-Home experience. That's right, we come to you!

Did we mention as a host your seat is FREE?! The process is simple, you contact us to schedule the date and submit the emails of your guests. We set up a private Eventbrite invitation, and your guests purchase their $65 seats. You'll need to fill your dining room with 8-10 paying guests, and we will take care of the rest.

The In-Home experience is like our pop-up gatherings, in that Chef Jason will select and prepare the menu. We can accommodate allergies upon request. The menu features a locally sourced meal to include: snacks, first course, family style dinner, and finished with dessert. We will be preparing the food on-site, so we will arrive 3 hours before the dinner. We also need a working kitchen (standard stove top, oven, and refrigerator).

Discounted Rates - We have a number of dates in the coming weeks that we will be offering your guests 15% off their seats.

 The discounted dates are:

  • January 29, 2014
  • January 30, 2014
  • February 1, 2014
  • February 6, 2014

Please email us at info@homespunatl.com to schedule your In-Home gathering.

HOMESPUN ATL OCTOBER BRUNCH We're excited to host another Homespun Brunch... next Sunday, October 20 at 1 pm. I've mentioned it before, but brunch is hands-down my favorite meal!

Open Invitation: Homespun

Homespun.HaleyShef.Dec12-98
So what's the story behind these dinners? Chef Jason Jimenez and myself (his new bride) host monthly gatherings at design studios around Atlanta. We have called it "Homespun ATL," since the gatherings started in homes, and continue to carry a simple, unpretentious feel to each dinner. We source the meal from area farmers, markets, and purveyors to keep it as fresh and local as possible.

Each gathering features a locally sourced meal to include: snacks, communal wine, first course, family style dinner, and finished with coffee + dessert.

The invitation is open to anyone and guests can RSVP until the table fills up. Most hear of the dinners through word of mouth or buzz on social media.  We also invite local creatives to contribute to each dinner with their respective craft-whether design, floral, photography, etc.
Homespun.HaleyShef.Dec12-131
Most come in strangers and leave as new-found friends. That's the beauty of the table - it is a wonderful opportunity to organically facilitate community and relationships, bringing people together that otherwise may not have crossed paths.
