The San Diego
Supper Club

Four nights a year. One building.

What we do
The Idea

One building. One table. Four nights a year.

A private chef’s dinner for ten each season, hosted by Christopher Theodore: residents of your building, chosen by your management, seated beside San Diego’s artists, writers, and civic leaders, chosen by us.

Each season, the San Diego Supper Club sets a single table in a single building: a chef-driven dinner for ten, hosted by the documentary filmmaker Christopher Theodore. Your management chooses the residents who sit at the table; we choose guests by hand from San Diego’s cultural and civic life, who spend an evening in conversation.

Every evening is documented and leaves something behind: photographs, a short video, and a story written for the press, all made in the building and carrying its name beside the Club’s. The partnership is held by one building only.

The details are behind the door below.

The Evening

An elegant dinner. That is the whole trick.

Ten at table, chosen

Residents of your building, chosen by your management, seated beside people from the city’s arts, letters, and civic life, chosen by us: the ones other people hope to be seated near.

A chef, a laid table

A private chef builds the menu around the season; wine is chosen by the host; the table is set properly, with flowers and a printed menu. Everything handled. Nothing for your staff to run.

A record of the night

One discreet camera, shot with restraint. Each evening is kept as photographs and a short video of the building the way marketing can never stage it, full of actual life.

A host who answers for it

Christopher chooses the city guests, opens the evening, and holds the room. The dinner carries his name beside your building's — a standard, kept in person, every season.

The Calendar

Four dinners a year. One for each season.

Rare enough that every table is an occasion. Regular enough that your building's year begins to turn around them.

Christopher Mark Theodore The Host

Christopher Theodore

Christopher has spent his career at the meeting point of media and hospitality — as a magazine publisher, a hospitality investor, and a documentarian. The Supper Club is the room where those lives converge: he chooses the city guests for each table, opens each evening, and hosts each table personally. It is, deliberately, the only part of the night that cannot be delegated.

For Building Owners

The next table could be laid in your building.

The conversation starts with a phone call; the number is behind the door. Prefer to write first? Use the button below. If there is real alignment, we meet in person to see whether the building and the Club are right for each other.
