Enjoy Delicious Food – Meet New People – Watch How Real TV is Made!

Dinner Party is a live cooking show filmed in front of a studio audience at GNAT-TV. Each episode features a talented local chef and a guest host who prepare a seasonal meal while sharing cooking techniques, personal stories, and their food philosophy.

The audience is part of the experience from beginning to end, watching, learning, tasting, and connecting around the shared joy of food and storytelling.

Dinner Party is more than a meal. It is a joyful way to support GNAT-TV’s mission to keep public media local, independent, and accessible to all. Proceeds help fund our work in community storytelling, youth media education, and local government transparency.

A Live Culinary Experience Rooted in Community

Following a sold-out return, GNAT-TV is proud to present the second installment of its Dinner Party series—a one-of-a-kind event where a seasonal, locally sourced meal is prepared live on set, and the stories behind the food come to life.

This episode features Chef Jon Gatewood of The Dorset Inn, joined by longtime server and special guest Nuni Ragonese. Hosted by Tatyanna Wright, the evening blends culinary craft, rich storytelling, and the magic of live television.

The fall menu highlights pumpkins sourced from local farms and used in their entirety—from skins and trimmings for risotto stock, to seeds for garnish, to the rich meat of the squash in the ravioli filling.

On the menu:

Pumpkin Risotto with Cobb Hill Smoked Goudaand  Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli with Sweet Corn Brown Butter and Maplebrook Farm Feta

Dinner Party is more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of community and the stories that bring us together. Each event features a different chef and menu, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience every time.
