The Dinner Series is a workshop and salon limited to eight guests. 5 days working in the studio. 5 evenings of dinner and discussion with leading figures in the arts, creativity and culture.
Guests should expect 5 solid days (9am-10pm) of assignments, ideas and creative discussion. We'll start each morning with a light breakfast in my Williamsburg, Brooklyn studio, work until noon and break for a healthy lunch, then dive back into the mix until 5pm. We'll then break for 2 hours of private time until dinner. At 7pm we'll reconvene at a private Tribeca studio/loft for a dinner prepared exclusively for us by some of NYC's best chefs. Joining us each night will be the evenings' Special Guest (a leading figure in the arts, creativity and culture) for a night of fine dining and conversation. On Friday night we will have a closing party hosted by Esquire Magazine.

When all was settled down yesterday evening, my wife looked at me and said, 'You're different. You're happy.' I swear I teared up there and then… And I thank you for changing my future.

I feel intoxicated from all the creative energy, passion and courage that was summoned everyday in Victore's home. It was a privilege to fail successfully and repeatedly with all of you and definitely left hungry for more!

Wow. You f-ing did it! There was a vibe last night I rarely get to experience. Everyone was psyched to have participated in the first of what is clearly something special … meant to grow and to be culturally impactful.

What I signed up for was the chance to grab dinner with some incredible creatives in a small group, and learn about some of Victore's work, which I've admired for years. What I got was four days of learning how to tell the fucking truth, and four of the best consecutive dinners of my life. Seriously, the food was insanely good and the guests were cool as hell, especially considering many of them are freaking luminaries. I'm not a designer and because of the dinner series I'm now a better designer than all of you.

…The Dinner Series took a mirror to my reasons and ways and led me to the walls behind walls I've put in my own way. To knock them down, dance around them or make like they aren't there at all. Best of all, it summoned the courage to do so with good cheer, hearty meals and the rarefied wisdom of talented and ambitious company. I left galvanized, with new friends and the voice in my head making a list of demands of myself and my world, saying 'howdy' and air boxing a whole heap. I haven't thrown a punch since breakfast.
