Somewhere in culture we learned that it is unacceptable to ask or allow our guests to bring food to our gatherings. While we're not telling you to bring a potato salad to a formal gala, we will be sharing how to navigate this in everyday hospitality. In today's episode we break down 4 main reasons why you should let your guests contribute food and how to ask or organize that as well.  1: You Can't Do it All, Financially & Time  2. It makes people feel more comfortable.  3. It better supports those with dietary needs and families with young kids  4. It celebrates various cultures at our tables and acts as a conversation piece.  Towards the end of the episode, we will teach you how to map out your dinner so when your guests ask what to bring, you don't end up with 50 people bringing brownies. We've all been there!  Join us as we tackle one of hospitalities biggest misconceptions and look at it in a new light.

Hospitality. What do you think of when you hear that word?&nbsp; For some it's old school 'stuffy' entertaining for others it's something to do with the hotel industry. One thing is for sure, as a culture we're not talking about it much.&nbsp; Food * Design * Relationships have seemed to have taken a back seat to what our culture focuses on and values yet...we find ourselves in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Something has to change, it's time to get back to our tables, and we're making room for it!&nbsp; Making Room by Gather invites you into a new conversation on everyday hospitality. One that rewrites the way we approach opening your doors and filling your tables. Shifting the narrative from 'how does this make me look' to 'how does this make you feel' these buildable conversations aspire to inspire connection through everyday gathering.&nbsp; Kayty's chic and a little quirky interview style will make you feel like you're sitting with a friend talking about how to grow in confidence as an everyday host. You can expect conversations from navigating challenging relationship dynamics to foundational cooking techniques and everything in between.&nbsp; Whether you are a seasoned host or looking to develop new friendships and grow in your skills for the first time, there is a seat at the table.
