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!
All dinners and ticket links are first announced through our email list, so make sure to stay subscribed, and tell your friends as well!

March - Stained Glass with Lost & Found Design
Spend a creative afternoon at Kanbe's Markets learning stained glass with Tara from Lost & Found Design. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create a fruit-inspired stained glass piece (March features a strawberry), with pre-cut glass, relaxed instruction, and a small class setting. No experience needed—just come ready to make something bright and take home your own finished glass artwork.
