Dare to dine without seeing what's coming?

This chef-led experience takes you deep into the world of taste with a blindfolded five-course tasting dinner, where each dish is listed by name--but five key ingredients remain a secret. With your sense of sight removed, your focus will sharpen--smells become more vivid, textures more pronounced, and flavors more intense. You'll have the thrilling challenge of identifying each of the mystery ingredients, and the guest with the most correct guesses will win their dinner on the house!

Elevate your experience even more by adding on a curated wine pairing hand-selected by Chef Jeremy to perfectly complement the journey.

Seating is extremely limited for this one-night-only sensory experience. Tickets are $70 per person. Doors open at 5:30pm for a social hour, with dinner beginning at 6:30pm.

Immersive, intimate, and playfully indulgent-- where sight takes a back seat and flavor takes center stage-- this is dining reimagined.

Presented by Chef Jeremy Korger and The Lakely team.

Hari Kondabolu is a comedian, writer and podcaster based in Brooklyn, NY.

The NY Times called him one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today and described his 2018 Netflix special Warn Your Relatives as an incisively funny and formally adventurous hour that reveals a comic in command of his powers. It was named on many Best of lists, including for Time, Paste Magazine, Cosmopolitan, E! Online, and Mashable. He was also named one of 2018 Comics To Watch by Variety. His most recent special Vacation Baby is now available on Hulu.

In 2017, his truTV documentary The Problem with Apu was released and created a global conversation about race and representation. The Nation described it as a devastating critique of the ultimate comedic sacred cow: The Simpsons. It is now used in high school, college and grad school curriculums around the country.

Hari has also released two comedy albums, Waiting for 2042 & Mainstream American Comic with legendary indie rock label Kill Rock Stars. Additionally, he has performed on Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with David Letterman and among many others. He is also a former writer & correspondent on the much loved, Chris Rock produced FX show Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. In 2022, he co-hosted the Netflix food competition show Snack vs. Chef with Megan Stalter.

As a voice actor, he can be heard as Mr. Walia and Mr. Sawani on Disney's Mira Royal Detective. He also voiced Principal Rahul on Netflix's Ada Twist: Scientist.

A regular on the public radio, Hari is a frequent panelist on the NPR game show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me. He was also a guest host on Midday on WNYC. As a podcaster, he co-hosted the popular Politically Reactive with W. Kamau Bell. Additionally, he also co-hosts what he politely describes as a pop up podcast, The Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Podcast with his younger brother Ashok (Dap from HBO's Chillin' Island and rap group Das Racist.)

Hari attended both Bowdoin College and Wesleyan University, graduating from the former institution with a B.A. in Comparative Politics. A former immigrant rights organizer in Seattle who worked under the leadership of now-Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Hari also earned a Masters in Human Rights from the London School of Economics in 2008. He was the Artist In Residence at NYU's APA Institute for the 2014-2015 Academic Year and at Shangri La Museum in Honolulu in 2018.
