Over the last decade, Sunday Dinner Club has built a community of thousands of diners, made up of everyday people, chefs, farmers, and friends. It was founded in 2004 by chefs Christine Cikowski and Josh Kulp.

SDC is a dinner party-ish experience that currently operates in the great city of Chicago. Menus change monthly, and each menu centers around a theme and highlights locally sourced ingredients reflective of the current season. Dinners are held a couple times a month and seat up 24 guests... and the dinners are not just on Sundays.

At SDC, relationships are built, chefs explore their food curiosities, real food is made and served with care, and the gap between diner, chef, and farmer is narrowed.

We believe the truth about cooking is that there is no “right” way. The best way, the rightest way, is the way that finds a visceral reaction. In a world of social media algorithms, smart phones, and 24-7 news - cooking remains a raw, in your face, hands on, immediate, and messy proposition. As products of our times, cooking is a both an escape and a refuge - an act that can reclaim a history and a place to connect, in the most personal and physical ways possible. With your hands, your nose, your eyes, ears, mouth and body.

We fall for foods, we dream about flavors, and we carry them with us through our lives. And as in love and attraction -- we don’t always know exactly why we fall for the people, or the bites of food we yearn for. We just do.

We have found this feeling at SDC. We find it in our dining room, in our food, and our menus, all of which we’ve loved along the way.
