First Running Dinner on the Plateau
A Golden Evening of Connection
On March 29, the very first Running Dinner took place on the Plateau of Blixembosch Buiten. An evening where new neighbors, people from different cultures, and backgrounds came together for a culinary and social journey. The theme? Gold – a symbol of warmth, value, and connection.
A Tasty Introduction
The concept of a Running Dinner is simple but effective: participants visit different houses in small groups, where they are served a different dish at each stop. This not only creates a surprising menu but also fosters new encounters with each course. From flavorful starters to savory main courses and refined desserts, each host added their personal touch, often with a nod to their cultural background.
Together at the Table, Together at Home
What made the evening extra special was the diversity of both dishes and stories. Participants not only tasted each other’s culinary creations but also got a glimpse into one another’s cultures. Whether it was an Indian samosa, an Italian pasta, or Dutch stew, food has a way of bringing people together, and you could feel that in every kitchen.
A Golden Finish
After a night filled with culinary discoveries, all participants gathered at a central location for a festive drink. Draped in golden accents—from sparkling accessories to glittering table decorations—everyone toasted to new friendships and the successful first edition of the Running Dinner.
On to More!
The feedback was unanimously positive: it was an accessible, fun way to get to know one another and make the neighborhood feel a bit more connected. The success has sparked excitement for future events, and the first ideas for the next edition are already bubbling up. One thing is for sure: the Plateau of Blixembosch Buiten is a neighborhood where connection and hospitality are at the heart of everything.
Warm regards from the Running Dinner Plateau 2025 organizing team.
