SOLD OUT. 🖤🍽️

Sunday Dinner at The AUX is officially at capacity — and our hearts are full.

What started as a vision to gather around the table, honor tradition, and build community has turned into a room filled with 60 seats of fellowship, culture, storytelling, and breaking bread together.

To every supporter, partner, chef, storyteller, and guest — thank you for believing in this experience. This is more than dinner. This is legacy in motion.

We’re inviting you to pull up a seat for something much bigger than a meal. This Sunday, February 22nd, Sunday Dinner at The Aux will be an immersive cultural experience where food becomes a mode of storytelling, memory sharing, and connection. Through their dishes and stories, chefs will share food traditions shaped by history, culture, and lived experience.

Come for the food. Stay for the stories. Leave feeling connected.
