Join us for a new intimate long-table dinner collaboration by James Beard–nominated Chef Jeff Harris of Nolia Kitchen and Sweetgum founder Abby Allen. Each dinner features a never-before-seen tasting menu inspired by the land, the moment, and culinary traditions across the African diaspora—blending Southern foodways with Sweetgum’s philosophy of presence and communal care.
Set within Sweetgum Manor’s historic, wooded grounds, the Chef series brings guests together for evenings rooted in storytelling, seasonality, and the ritual of gathering.
Building on Sweetgum Manor’s Joy of the Table gatherings, the series offers a high-touch, intimate experience centered on nourishment, connection, and cultural expression.
Inaugural Dinner: Saturday, March 7 | 6:00–8:00 PM Additional gatherings to follow.
