  • Gatherings with Crowded Table do not just nourish the body. The conversation, connectedness and comfort of sharing thoughts and food with great people, nourishes the soul. It allows your mind and body to feel whole, complete and content. I am grateful to experience the creating and sharing of memories, meals and moments around a Crowded Table.
