Fork Famine is the union of a meal and narrative. We host intimate gatherings where the two unfold as a single composition.
Each edition is part salon, part opera. Editions begin with a theme; from there, the evening takes shape: readings, adaptation, performance, movement, or conversation, developed in dialogue with a composed meal.
Fork Famine is a literary dinner that values attention and restraint over scale, asking guests to be present rather than to document. We aim, briefly, to soothe the asperities of the world.
A portion of proceeds from each edition is directed to organizations working to eliminate food insecurity and address the needs of their local communities
Fork Famine is based in New York and operates as an imprint of Tolemus Studio.
