The Concept
What is OFF THE MENU
OFF THE MENU is Street Provisions' ticketed creative dining experience — a concept driven evening open to the public and limited by design. No two events are the same. Every experience is built around a theme, a season, or an idea that Chef James wants to bring to the table.
Guests come from all over for the food, the community, and the experience.
OTM events lead with anticipation. No imagination does it justice, only your memory. Every dish is art to be devoured. The room seats curious strangers and serves turnt regulars. It's an experience that's off the... menu.
Tickets are limited.
Dates are announced when it's time.

The Red Thread
Valentine's Day
Columbia, SC
The thread between touch, taste, and tension.
The Red Thread was the first OFF THE MENU experience — an intimate Valentine's Day dinner built around the idea that certain connections are destined. Five courses. Candlelight. A private location. An evening designed for two.
Every detail was considered. The lighting. The music. The pacing of each course. Chef James designed the evening to slow time, heighten the senses, and create space for the kind of moments that don't happen at ordinary dinner tables.
This is what OFF THE MENU looks like, when it exists.
OTM events lead with anticipation.
No imagination does it justice, only your memory can.
