🌎 A World of Flavor, Rooted Locally 🌮✨

Join us at Gather55 on June 3, 2026, for a special collaboration dinner with No Mames and Chef Ryan. This is going to be an unforgettable evening inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and the culinary energy of New York City.

Chef Ryan’s globally inspired approach blends refined technique with bold, soulful flavors shaped by years of travel, collaboration, and cultural connection. Now bringing that perspective to Connecticut, he’s crafted a one-night-only menu designed to bring people together through food.

🍴 Chef Ryan’s Menu:
• Crab Tostada
Blue Crab, Avocado, Corn Salsa & Coconut

• Street Corn Enchiladas
Chipotle, Jalapeño, Queso Fresco & Crema

• Coconut Tres Leches
Grilled Pineapple, Meringue & Chili Lime Salt

Be among the first to experience this elevated and deeply personal dining event.
