A five-course Thai-Taiwanese dinner with dek kreung — an iterative project by Athena Intanate. The evening includes dishes inspired by Athena’s upbringing, along with special reading materials and conversation. Based on her Fivers Supper Club, every iteration of dek kreung is centered on the idea of food as care and community.


Due to the nature of this evening, no modifications to the dishes are available.

This dinner is BYOB and for ages 21+.


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."
