Welcome to L・EAT (pronounced el-eet), intimate dinners for small gatherings with your closest friends and family.

As experts in our industry, we have partnered together to produce a customized, elevated dining experience with contactless service right to your doorstep.

December’s experience is available for hands-free delivery Friday, December 18 and Saturday, December 19 ONLY. Orders must be placed no later than Friday, December 11, so that we have time to personalize your bespoke package! Please tell us your preferred delivery date at check-out.

Safety is paramount.
Our dinners are intended to be enjoyed with social distancing in mind. We encourage small groups and, for the first time, we are offering this month’s dinner for 4 guests OR for 8 guests. However, should your party require a few more places at the table, just send us an email at L-EAT@lindseybaer.com and we will be happy to accommodate any special requests.
All staff, from the chefs and designers to delivery teams, will be following the recommended CDC safety guidelines while preparing each element of your experience. This includes wearing face masks and gloves, frequent hand washing, and social distancing from one another.

DRINK SPOTLIGHT
Add some charm to your next cocktail . . .
In the world of Creole Voodoo, Gris Gris (pronounced “gree gree”) is a magic spell that can be used for evil or good. In this case, a splash of Gris Gris Cocktail Magic is a happy hex added to your next drink.
Gris Gris Cocktail Magic makes all drinks delicious, with or without booze. Add a splash of our spicy, sweet Jalapeño Hex simple syrup to vodka, tequila, gin or rum (or just skip the spirits), top with soda and a big juicy squeeze of fresh lemon or lime and a you have a delicious craft cocktail in minutes. It’s a tasty, easy way to add some zing to any drink. All our syrups are made with fresh produce and herbs and cooked slowly to extract both the heat and the complexity of the peppers.

THE COLLECTIVE
RENEE SCHULER, Eat Well Celebrations and Feasts
Chef Renee Schuler began her culinary training in NYC. It was while living and working there that she discovered the joy, beauty, and satisfaction of catering off-site events. She established eat well celebrations and feasts in 2005, so that she could work with clients in the greater Cincinnati area to make their culinary and event visions a reality. Eat well has had the pleasure of catering for Martha Stewart, Mark Zuckerberg, Major League Baseball, Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Opera and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra among many wonderful others. Her philosophy is simple. To truly eat well, four elements working in harmony are required: the best ingredients, expertly crafted dishes, and exceptional service—all in a memorable presentation.
LINDSEY HUTTENBAUER, The Lindsey Baer Company
Planning events globally and domestically, Lindsey Huttenbauer (The Lindsey Baer Company) has developed a deep contact base across the world – from New York City to Los Angeles to Berlin and St. Barth’s. With over 20 years of experience, she is capable of putting on a great event with any budget, from “cheap and chic” affairs to million-dollar productions. Every occasion is managed with her keen attention to the smallest detail, her social southern grace, and her deft ability to work under pressure in demanding situations. The end result is always breathtaking, unforgettable, and seamless.
MAYA LALONDE, Olive Street Creative
In my twenty years of being an interior designer, the fabrics have been my favorite part of the job. So I decided, instead of choosing products, I'm going to make them. The focus of my products are centered around the patterns that fit various mediums going from tabletop linens to tote travel accessories. The patterns are made to encapsulate the heart of Olive Street Creative: creating textiles with meaning.
KRISTEN FOLZENLOGEN, Poeme
My skills involve color, type, print, and “design-y” things, BUT my super-hero powers have been defined as “Mother-of-the Bride Whisperer”, “Etiquette-Enthusiast” and “Wordsmith Wizard”. I have yet to meet a Bride-(or Groom)-zilla, and I think this has to do with the fact that with good communication and proper guidance, our clients can enjoy the process. I translate the vision you have for your celebration and put your story on paper, and if I can do it in a way that allows you to enjoy the process, then I have done my job!
KRISTEN SEKOWSKI, Yellow Canary Floral & Event Design
Kristen has been aligning her passion for fine art and florals for over 20 years. She draws inspiration from the beauty of flowers and the creative process and makes sure every arrangement is a reflection of her client’s vision. The beauty is in the details which is why Yellow Canary is excited to provide florals for small intimate gatherings with L・EAT.
