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," Chann said.

Context: The couple first went viral on TikTok, when Chann filmed private chef Monny preparing daily 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.)

• They've transformed the 968-square-foot apartment into a teaching kitchen where you can learn how to create seasonal, globally inspired dishes rooted in Southern food traditions and history.
