Need something to liven up your life? How about an event that showcases total sensory overload, in the best possible way?
That’s what you’ll get at the upcoming “No Rules Dinner Party!”, a wild, 19-course dinner party hosted by three of Milwaukee’s most fun woman-owned businesses: Flour Girl & Flame, Happy Joy Candy Co. and Tots on the Street.
The dinner will be held on Saturday, May 31 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Cival Jewelry & Design Studio, 911 W. National Ave. And guests can expect it to be unlike any other experience they’ve ever had.
“I wanted to create a really delicious dinner collaboration,” says Brit Grosenick of Happy Joy Candy Co.. “I’ve been to a bunch of tasting dinners, and they’re always really great. But I wanted this to be something that was just meant to be fun and that didn’t abide by any of the usual rules.”
Among the fun elements guests can expect is dessert first (the dinner will begin with mini choco tacos from Joy Ice Cream), a never-ending bubbly bar, caviar integrated into multiple courses, housemade focaccia and butter candles from Flour Girl & Flame for an irresistible edible tablescape.
There will also be dishes like a Sweet Potato Hot Waffle & Chicken featuring a Tots on the Street sweet potato waffle with hot honey and Berbere chevre, fried chicken from Palomino and hot honey from Flour Girl and Flame on top.
Amid any number of surprises and activities taking place throughout the evening, there will also be a DJ keeping the vibe going all night long.
The No Rules Dinner Party is $150 per person and tickets can be purchased online.
