Join us for our November Kitchen Table Dinner, featuring Mitchell Griffith of Griffith Goods and Spirits, to start the season of thankfulness with good friends and a good meal. As Mitchell Griffith says, "Food and drink is something essential to life, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring," and this evening will be anything but. Chef Griffith's international travel and mixology experiences will entertain you, from the autumnal flavors on your plate to the story he will tell you about it.  

Featured Chef - Beginning in his grandma’s house and continuing through various Fayetteville restaurants, Mitchell Griffith has always loved being in kitchens. While supporting Tacos4Life as a traveling trainer and location manager, he honed his love for connecting to different communities in Northwest Arkansas through food. In 2017, Mitchell became the Beer and Cocktail Program Manager at Puritan Coffee and Beer. During his time there, he created seasonal craft cocktail and beer menus showcasing the best of local flavors and representing national craft industry trends. It was during the 2020 pandemic that Mitchell found his passion for sharing his love of food and craft beverages so people could experience them in their own homes. What began as a YouTube series of food and drink recipes grew into a desire to bring personalized culinary experiences to the community he’s been cooking in for over a decade. In the beginning of 2021, Mitchell started Griffith Goods and Spirits to realize his vision of a community-oriented catering service. Focusing on one of a kind culinary experiences, Mitchell serves guests of weddings, corporate events, and private dinners around Northwest Arkansas. Griffith Goods and Spirits aims to leave people better than he found them: in good spirits.

About the Kitchen Table Dinner Series -  Born out of a desire to build a community around great food, Apple Seeds' Kitchen Table Dinner series is designed to recreate the feeling of gathering around a dear friend's table.  These dinners aim to bridge the gap often felt between the chef and diners in a typical dining environment, thereby creating a deeper connection to the food on the plate.  Through intentional procurement of local, seasonal ingredients, the transparent preparation of the meal, and storytelling by the chef, each plate is transformed from food into an unforgettable dining experience.
