The Spread is an experience designed to bring communities together through food,  connecting people with fun and educational dinner parties. Learn about ingredients, spruce up your skills in the kitchen, and spend time with people in your circle and beyond. Host a dinner party right in your own kitchen or attend another one in your city; because the more people who can learn to eat well and cook more often, and the more people connecting over a meal, the better the world will be. 

The Spread was the thought child of two friends who shared a passion for cooking. Growing up in Upstate NY, they experienced a childhood filled with nature and home meals. Continuing their adult lives in NYC, and exploring a never ending world of food related adventures, they began to have discussions about the disconnect many people have with food, as well as with each other. In an effort to solve both of these problems, the first Spread was thrown in the summer of 2019 as an inclusive, intimate dinner party in Queens, NY. 

At these dinner parties, we strive to show the guests how easy it can be to learn how to cook and nourish themselves well. Each guest is expected to immerse themselves in the process of preparing, cooking, and eating the meals being served. They will be assisting in portions of preparing the meal, and are encouraged to have conversations with the chef and the hosts along the way. In between cooking, the guests have an opportunity to socialize with each other in a fun and relaxed environment. 

You can sign up to attend a spread to see what the Yum is all about. And whenever you’re ready, inquire about hosting a Spread of your own. No matter what you choose, we’d love to eat with you!
