Meet Chann and Monny Little, the owners of How Sanguine, who are bringing intimate dining experiences to Camp North End — all from the comfort of a home setting.
Why it matters: The couple set out to make learning feel less intimidating by meeting people where they are — in a setting that mirrors the kind of space most of us actually cook in.
What they're saying: "We created How Sanguine because we were craving the kind of intimate, nontraditional dining experiences we saw in other cities— private dinner clubs, long conversation-filled meals, spaces that feel safe and welcoming especially for Black and queer folks." they said.
- "This city deserves places where food is more than a transaction; it's a vehicle for culture, community and connection."
Context: The couple first went viral on TikTok, when Chann filmed private chef Monny preparing elaborate four- to five-course meals at home for the two of them.
- Engagement from their recipe content eventually led them to open How Sanguine last year.
The vibe: Inside How Sanguine's live-work apartment at Kinship, guests can attend hands-on cooking classes and private themed dinners with wine pairings. (And no — they don't actually live in the event space.)
- The roughly 968-square-foot apartment (at 115 Razades Way) transforms into a teaching kitchen, hosting 25–40 people at a time to learn how to create seasonal, globally inspired dishes rooted in Southern food traditions and history.
- Hands-on cooking classes are typically between $60–$75.
Zoom in: The duo offers the space as a private rental, hosts monthly events like Wine Wednesday and partners with other local businesses for pop-ups, giving smaller brands a chance to test a storefront concept.
- You might recognize the space from the latest coffee pop-up with Brü, which had people lining up in freezing temperatures.
