Based upon her Fivers Supper Club, every pop-up iteration of dek kreung is centered on the idea of food as care and community, providing space to make new connections.

Athena Intanate is a Philadelphia-based chef who has worked in restaurants around the city including: Kalaya; Illata; and currently Her Place Supper Club.
"Born in Bangkok, Thailand to a Thai father and a Taiwanese-American mother, I've always felt the most comfortable in liminal spaces. I moved to America in 2019 to go to Haverford College; it was here that I started my Fivers Supper Club, a weekly communal dining experience where the guest list and menu was a surprise. Creating family-style dinners for four other students and myself, I decided to enter the hospitality industry largely based on the love that I had for hosting people, and I've been here ever since."
