Stories told on and off the plate
OUR STORY
Off the record was born from my passion for storytelling through food, it's a culinary venture that goes beyond just creating delicious dishes. By weaving stories into your culinary creations, you inspire people to connect, share, and create their own narratives through the medium of food. Your unique approach not only satisfies their palates but also nourishes their souls, turning each meal into a memorable and meaningful experience.

"100% recommend if you're in NYC and looking for an evening of delicious food and meaningful conversations with like minded people."
- Uli
"I really respect the hustle. The food is good. Plating even better and they just have a good vibe. They put a ton of care with little details. I'd go back.
Nice that supper clubs and communal dinners are a thing. The hard part has been sussing out which are worth checking out. I'm excited to see what off the record does!"
- Chris Ee
"I absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend anyone to attend! It's perfect for meeting new people too! The hosts are absolutely lovely and warm. The details of the night were thoughtful, and I appreciated how they paid attention to every aspect. Now, here's the surprising part: I'm typically a picky eater, and everything on the menu was on my "no" list. However, I was beyond pleased with the way everything was cooked and presented. I'm definitely planning to come back and try every new menu they offer!"

"Everyone loved the food, decorations, and card games. All the small details like the cards were wonderful. We also really enjoyed the explanations for each dish. My personal favorite was either the shrimp or the fish. Also the steak and eggs were great the next day."
