The Makers Table is a dinner party experience for creatives and artists centered around collaboration and connection. From our network of past attendees, a co-host is chosen for each dinner to help ideate the concept, curate the guest list, and facilitate the evening. Our co-host for dinner No.2, Tastemakers of Philly, is Ryan Rayer, General Manager of Grace and Proper located in South Philly.

For Tastemakers of Philly, Sydney, Alex, and Ryan are bringing together creatives from the Philadelphia restaurant scene who have a knack for being on the cutting edge of what’s hot, ranging from owner/operator, chefs, bartenders, social media influencers, food photographers, and beyond. Each chef will be preparing a course for the dinner, and each beverage professional will be providing a beverage for pairing, with Grace & Proper hosting, and providing the first course in the way of hors d'oeuvres and a welcome cocktail. The ultimate goal of the dinner is to bring a unique group together from all over the industry to discuss inspiration, what keeps us grounded in our respective crafts, and to discuss and celebrate how our collective work makes the Philadelphia dining scene what it is, which is nothing short of spectacular. 

Please note that The Makers Table is invite only. If you have been formally invited by Alex, Sydney, or Ryan you can secure your seat by paying the contribution fee below. We can’t wait to create and connect with you.
