Episode Summary

Tune in for a brand new episode of Snacky Tunes as Darin Bresnitz is in conversation with Courtney Nichols, co-founder of Disco Dining Club. Disco Dining Club is a bi-monthly culinary excursion steeped in all the excess, debauchery andamp; hedonism of disco. Each dinner features cuisine from a renowned chef, unlimited oysters, an open bar provided by local microbreweries, wineries and distilleries, an all-vinyl disco DJ set, a live performance, multiple, thematic installations, and an invite-only crowd of cultural tastemakers – all donning decadent attire while partaking in a night of disco escapades.
