Pop-Up Dinner: A Taste of Nigeria, feat. Chef Kesh

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

7:00 pm

Please join The Ruins and Chef Kesh for the 2nd of two special pop-up dinners, featuring the cuisines Kesh was raised on, growing up in Liberia.

Kesh says:

"My mother carried Liberia in her hands. My father carried Nigeria in his bones. My Uncle Frank carried Lebanon on his tongue. Three people, three countries, one boy in a Monrovia kitchen, learning that food is how you tell someone they belong. Forty years later, I still cook their recipes. This August, I am bringing all three tables to the Ruins."

"Four courses drawn from my father's side, bold and layered, finished with dessert, cooked the way I learned to cook it before I cooked anything else."

Tickets: $75 

Online ticket sales stop at 11:59 pm the night before the show. 

All Ages. | Outdoor venue. | Tickets non-refundable
