Happy Thanks + Giving

As we head into Thanksgiving, I wanted to take a moment to connect with all of you—my incredible network. This time of year always gets me thinking about the true spirit of the season: thanks + giving. ?? ???

????Thanks to YOU — Your support, feedback, and shared passion for creating safe, inclusive, and sustainable dining experiences mean the world to me. Every email opened, every conversation sparked, and every connection made fuels my drive to ensure no one is left out at the table.?

????Thanks for the trust you place in me. Whether you’re here for tips on hosting inclusive events, inspiration for better food and beverage experiences, or to follow the Eating at a Meeting podcast, I’m honored to be a part of your journey.?

????Giving back to each other.?This season reminds us of the importance of giving—not just gifts or meals, but thoughtfulness, inclusion, and care.?As we prepare to gather with loved ones, let’s consider ways to make our tables welcoming for everyone.?

Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving or simply taking time to pause and reflect, I hope your day is filled with gratitude and connection.?

If your table is set with turkey, tofurky, or a menu filled with family favorites, and, of course pie, remember that every meal is an opportunity to care for those around you.?

I am deeply grateful for your continued support and for being part of this community. Together, we’re making strides to ensure every guest feels valued, every meal matters, and every event is a celebration of inclusion.?

Wishing you and your loved ones—near or far—a day filled with love, joy, and plenty of delicious moments.?

With heartfelt thanks,

Tracy
