The experience of food converged with music, art, and storytelling makes it that much richer, and Last Supper Society (@lastsuppersociety) has mastered the format! Led by Sacramento natives Ryan Royster and Chef Byron Hughes, their marketing, branding, and fine dining backgrounds merged to create artistic culinary moments highlighting the nuance and intersectionality of culture.
This week, Kahja talks with Ryan and Byron about pivoting to create a virtual business model during the pandemic, letting the excellence of your work create organic sponsored relationships, the inception of the ultimate food party, Dark Hours, bringing authenticity to spaces that aren't designed for you, taking over Oakland for Juneteenth, and creating without limitations.
Recorded on location at Black Girls Greenhouse in West Oakland.

Get tickets to "Balance In Conflict," a culinary exploration of competition in collaboration with @lastsuppersociety and VERSUS, curated by @jonathancarvermoore. Guests will eat dishes that explore competing elements — hot vs. cold, soft vs. crunchy, sweet vs. bitter — to transform the table into an arena where opposing textures, temperatures, and flavors collide while being seated among the VERSUS artworks.
This week's episode is brought to you in part by Cafe Colucci (@cafecolucci), Brundo Spice Company (@brundospices), and Diff Works (@staydiff).
