Event: Story Feast Minneapolis: A Dinner at the Weisman Art Museum
Story Feast Minneapolis will take place on October 24th, 2026
On October 24th, guests will gather inside one of the most extraordinary buildings in Minnesota for a harvest dinner unlike anything else happening in the Twin Cities this year.
The Weisman Art Museum, Frank Gehry's shimmering stainless steel landmark on the banks of the Mississippi, becomes our dining room for one evening. The meal will be prepared by chefs Mateo and Erin Mackbee, the husband-and-wife team behind Krewe and Flour & Flower Bakery in St. Joseph, Minnesota. Mateo is a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Midwest. Erin's Flour & Flower was named one of the best bakeries in America by The New York Times. They are two of the most talented and community-rooted chefs in the state, and they're returning to Story Feast for the second year.
Last fall, the Mackbees joined us for our inaugural gathering at St. John's Abbey, where guests shared a five-course harvest feast that received a standing ovation. Minnesota Monthly called the evening "a meditation on community, craft, and care." This year, we're bringing that energy into the heart of the city.
What's Included
Every ticket includes the full Story Feast experience:
a cocktail reception at 6:00 PM with views of the Mississippi River and the Minneapolis skyline
a five-course family-style harvest dinner by the Mackbees using seasonal, hyper-local Minnesota ingredients
all beverages throughout the evening from our Minnesota craft partners
handmade serviceware by Maine Prairie Studio (over 1,000 unique ceramic pieces crafted for this one evening)
private access to the Weisman Art Museum galleries
a curated goody bag of Minnesota-made products
optional tours throughout the course of the weekend celebrating the people who make the food culture of the Twin Cities so unique
VIP guests at The Inner Table arrive early for an intimate pre-dinner reception with the chefs and receive a signed copy of Elysian Kitchens, the book that inspired Story Feast Collective.

The Venue
The Weisman Art Museum sits on the bluffs above the Mississippi River on the University of Minnesota campus. Designed by Frank Gehry, the architect behind the Guggenheim Bilbao, its stainless steel facade has been a Minneapolis landmark since 1993. For one evening, this extraordinary space becomes our dining room.
Story Feast founder Jody Eddy is a University of Minnesota alumna who watched the Weisman being built as a student. This is a homecoming in every sense.
Coming Soon: Story Feast Around the World
Minneapolis is just the beginning. Over the next two years, Story Feast is hosting experiential dinners in extraordinary venues across the globe. Each gathering features an unforgettable venue, celebrated local chef, hyper-local ingredients, a cocktail hour, handmade serviceware, a goody bag filled with items you’ll actually want to use at home, and the storytelling that makes every evening unforgettable.
