2026 Ugly Dinner Series
For four years now we have partnered with the best KC restaurants and most talented local chefs. Inspired by our mission, they have opened their kitchen, to create heartfelt, intimate, and memorable dishes. We have grown a community of foodies that flourished through these dinners, and it has been our honor to share these meals with you all.
More spectacular dinners are just around the corner!

Stained Glass Morning Class - July
Join us for a relaxed, beginner-friendly stained glass workshop led by Tara of Lost & Found Design, where you’ll learn the basics while creating your choice of an orange slice, strawberry, or taco.
No experience needed—the glass is pre-cut, the pace is easy, and the group is intentionally small so there’s time to ask questions, learn, and admire everyone else’s fruit-based masterpieces.
Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly.
