16 guests. Three stops. Four local businesses. One unique night in downtown Tiffin. 🎶🥂🍽️

Chamber & Development members, The Renaissance of Tiffin, The Turntable , The Empire Bistro and The Creative AF, are joining forces for The LP Dinner: Volume I – Local, an exclusive progressive dinner experience on Monday, September 28 at 6 PM. And when we say exclusive, we mean it: only 16 tickets are available!

This isn’t your typical dinner out. Guests will move through three downtown stops as local chefs and creatives turn food, drinks, music and storytelling into an experience centered around one question: What does “local” mean to you?

Each destination will bring its own interpretation to the evening, showcasing not only the incredible culinary talent we have right here in our community, but the creativity that happens when local businesses collaborate. And the menu? That stays a secret. You’ll just have to trust the chefs.

Your ticket includes food and accompanying drinks throughout the entire evening, with a host guiding the group from stop to stop, sharing the stories and inspiration behind each destination. Tickets go on sale today and are available exclusively at The Empire Bistro.

What does “local” taste like? You’ll have to join us to find out.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 8, exclusively at Empire Bistro. Stop in or call (419) 448-7733 to purchase your ticket.

Introducing The LP Dinner.

Three downtown stops. Sixteen seats. One night built around food, music and the meaning of “local.”

The LP Dinner is a new progressive dinner series bringing together The Turntable, Empire Bistro, Renaissance and The Creative AF for a culinary experience unlike a typical night out.

For Volume I: Local, each participating establishment was given one question:

What does “local” mean to you?

The answers will unfold throughout the evening through food, drinks and the stories behind them.

And the name? LP stands for Local Progressive, while also giving a nod to the long-playing record. Each Volume will have its own theme and soundtrack.

Only 16 seats will be available. Tickets go on sale September 8, exclusively at Empire Bistro.
