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.

New Year, New Dinner Party

We’re kicking off the new year the best way we know how: good food, good company, and a live taping in the GNAT-TV studio. Dinner Party brings a local chef and host Tatyanna Wright together to cook a seasonal meal on camera, share stories along the way, and invite the audience into the experience.

From the first ingredient to the final plate, the audience is part of the night: watching the show take shape, learning a few new techniques, tasting the food, and connecting around a shared table.

The January 27 episode features Alp Basdogan of Depot 62 in Manchester, Vermont, whose cooking draws heavily from Turkish flavors and traditions, layered with a seasonal, Vermont sensibility.
