The Cultivated Blueprint
One menu, built together.
One night only.
Five courses written together by our kitchen and a guest chef, poured alongside, and served once — to a room of thirty. When it's gone, it's gone. The menu is never repeated.

The next seating has not been announced.
There is no set schedule. When a date is set, the alert goes out to the full list ten days before — with the guest chef, the time, the location, and the complete menu — and the countdown starts. The first 30 to claim and pay are in. Everyone after that waits for the next one.

Being on the list is the only way in. Alerts go to everyone on it, every time — whether that's fifty people or a thousand.
The Evening
A menu that exists for a single night
Each seating starts as a conversation between our kitchen and a guest chef — and ends as five courses that will never be served together again.
A menu built by two chefs, for one night only
Every seating pairs our kitchen with a guest chef. Together they build the menu from scratch — arguing, tasting, and refining until five courses read like a single voice.
Nothing is pulled from a standing menu. What you eat that night was written for that night, for that room, for those thirty seats.
- A new collaboration every seating — a different guest chef, a different point of view.
- The full menu arrives with the alert, ten days ahead — read it before you decide to claim a seat.
Farm first, always
The cooking is farm-to-table in the truest sense: the produce leads, and the menu bends around what's coming out of the ground that week. If it isn't in season, it isn't on the plate.
The one exception is the proteins, sourced for quality first — everything around them is grown close and picked close to service.
"We cook what the farm gives us. The farm rarely disappoints."
Poured to match
Each course arrives with a wine chosen for that plate — not a list, a pairing. Five courses, five pours, sequenced to build across the evening.
Don't drink? Every seat can choose the non-alcoholic pairing instead — built with the same care, course by course. It's the one substitution we make, and we make it gladly. Just choose it when you claim your seat.
- Wine pairing included in the rhythm of the menu.
- Non-alcoholic pairing available for any seat, chosen at claim time.
How Seats Work
First thirty. Plain and simple.
No schedule, no season tickets, no insiders. The list hears first, and the quickest thirty sit down.
01
Join the alert list
Add your name once. You're on the list for every seating from then on — alerts go out to the entire list, every time.
Anytime02
The alert goes out
Ten days before a seating, the alert lands by text, email, or both — your choice — with everything you need to decide: guest chef, time, location, and the full menu.
10 days before03
Claim, pay, confirmed
The first 30 to claim a seat and check out are in. Your confirmation follows by text and/or email with an add-to-calendar link. Seat 31 onward joins the waitlist for that night.
Until 30 are goneWhat's inside every alert
An alert is the whole invitation, not a teaser. Read the menu closely before you claim — the courses are served exactly as written, so the menu is how you know the night is for you.
- The guest chef — who is cooking alongside us that night.
- The time — one seating, one start, doors and first course.
- The location — where the room is set for that night.
- The menu — all five courses and the pairings, in full.
- A live countdown — and the claim link, open until 30 seats are gone.
Interested in Joining
Three ways in
Whether you want a seat at the table, a night in the kitchen, or a room we should cook in — it all starts here.
Guest Sign Up
Get the alert.
Be quick.
Seatings happen when they're ready — never on a fixed schedule. The list is the only door. You might catch the next one, or miss three in a row because thirty people were faster. That's the deal, and it's the same deal for everyone.
Thirty seats. That's the room.
Your seats Still open when the alert lands
$3502 seats × $175 — before tax & gratuity (the “++”)
For Chefs
Cook a night with us
Every seating is a collaboration. If you'd like to build a menu with us — your hands, your point of view, five courses neither kitchen would have written alone — tell us who you are. No application gauntlet, no fee, no checkout. We read every signup and reach out directly.
For Venues
Have a room
we should cook in?
If you run a restaurant, bar, or event space with a dark night, an empty room, or seats you'd like to fill in a different way — tell us about it. We're always looking for the right room for the next seating: the right size, the right feel, and a kitchen that can hold five courses for thirty.
- A dark night is enough to start — a day you're closed, a room that sits empty, a space that deserves an audience.
- Thirty seats is the room — close to that number is ideal, but tell us what you have and we'll talk it through.
- Every submission gets a conversation — not a guarantee. If there's a fit to explore, Chef Scottie will reach out directly to discuss it.
Submitting this form doesn't guarantee we'll come to your venue. It does guarantee a real discussion — we'll look at the space, the days, and the fit together before anything is decided.
When the Alert Lands
Claiming a seat, step by step
Claiming opens the moment the alert goes out. Here's exactly what it asks for — nothing more.
What the claim asks
Choose your seats, pick a pairing for each guest, and — only if it applies — note that seat's allergies or dietary needs, with time for the kitchen to act on them. Then checkout at $175++ per seat.
Every seat is set on its own. One guest can take the wine pairing while another takes the non-alcoholic, and each seat's dietary notes sit with that seat — so nothing has to be sorted out at the table. Every per-seat field is optional: if a seat has nothing to note, leave it blank and move on to the next.
Allergies and dietary needs are accommodated only when told to us more than 48 hours before the seating — counted from the night of service. Inside 48 hours, or on the night itself, nothing can be changed and there is no night-of accommodation. Beyond that, there are no substitutions — the non-alcoholic pairing is the one exception.

Checkout activates with the alert. This panel mirrors the live claim, so you know the drill before the countdown starts.
After you claim
Your confirmation goes out right away, the way you chose on the list — text, email, or both — with a link to add the night to your calendar.
The Cultivated Blueprint — you're confirmed. Your seats are held, and your pairings are noted per seat: 2 wine, 0 non-alcoholic. Per seat: Seat 1 — wine; Seat 2 — wine. Anything you told us about allergies (48+ hours ahead) is with the kitchen. Full details, directions, and your add-to-calendar link are in the message.
- Add to calendar — a Google Calendar link plus a downloadable calendar file, in every confirmation.
- Missed the 30? You're on that night's waitlist — if a seat opens, it goes to the waitlist in order.
- Plans change? Cancel more than 48 hours before the seating for a full refund. Inside 48 hours, seats are non-refundable.
Good to Know
The house rules, in plain language
Thirty seats and a single-night menu leave no room for improvisation on the night. These rules are how the evening stays what it is.
The menu is served as written
Each seating is coursed out and pre-planned together, course by course. There are no substitutions — nothing taken off a plate, nothing added on. It's how five courses land the way they were designed to.
The single exception: guests who don't drink alcohol may choose the non-alcoholic pairing when they claim.
Allergies need 48 hours' notice
Tell us about an allergy or dietary restriction more than 48 hours before the seating — there's a field for it on each seat, right in the claim — and the kitchen can plan around it.
Inside 48 hours, or on the night of service itself, we can't accommodate it. With no notice, there's nothing we can do — the menu is already set and sourced.
Cancellations & refunds
Cancel more than 48 hours before the seating and you receive a full refund.
Cancel less than 48 hours before and there is no refund — your seats were held, the food was sourced, and the night can't be resold in time.
No set schedule, thirty seats
Seatings are announced as they're ready. Every alert goes to the whole list at once, ten days out, with a live countdown.
First 30 to claim and pay are seated. After that, the waitlist — and the next seating — is all there is.
Questions
Before you ask
How much is a seat, exactly?
$175++ per seat. The “++” means tax and gratuity are added on top at checkout. Five courses and the pairing are included in the seat price.
How will I know when a seating is announced?
Join the alert list and choose text, email, or both. Ten days before the seating, the alert goes out to everyone on the list with the guest chef, time, location, full menu, and a countdown to the night. Claiming opens with that alert.
What if I miss out on the 30 seats?
You land on that seating's waitlist, in order — if a confirmed guest cancels in time, the seat is offered down the list. Otherwise, your alert-list spot carries over and you're in the running for the next seating, same as everyone.
Can the kitchen work around my allergy?
Yes — if we know more than 48 hours before the seating. Note it on that seat in the claim form — each seat has its own optional dietary field — and the kitchen plans around it. Inside 48 hours, or on the night itself, the menu is set and we can't change it. Beyond allergies, there are no substitutions: dishes are served as written, with a non-alcoholic pairing as the one exception for guests who don't drink.
What's the refund policy?
Cancel more than 48 hours before the seating for a full refund. Cancel less than 48 hours before and there is no refund.
I'm a chef. How do collaborations happen?
Use the chef sign up under “Interested in joining” at the top of the page — tell us where you cook and what your food is about. There's no checkout and no commitment; we read every one and reach out directly when a collaboration fits.
Privacy
Privacy Policy
The Cultivated Blueprint (DBA The Cultivated Blueprint) · Last updated November 2026 · Questions: support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving
This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect when you join our alert list, claim a seat, or apply as a chef or venue — why we collect it, who can see it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, email us at support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving.
We do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone for marketing. Ever. Your name, email, and phone number are used only to run The Cultivated Blueprint — alerts, seat claims, and service on the night.
What we collect
- Alert list signups: your name, email address, mobile phone number, and how you want alerts to reach you — text, email, or both.
- Seat claims: the same contact details, plus for each seat the pairing choice (wine pairing or non-alcoholic pairing) and any dietary or allergy notes you choose to add for that seat. Every per-seat dietary field is optional.
- Chef signups: your name, email, phone (if you provide it), where you cook now, your role, your background, and any note you add.
- Venue signups: venue or business name, contact person, email, phone, address or city, type of space, seating capacity, days closed or available, and any details you add about fit, what you can offer, what you want from hosting, ideal terms, or expected cost.
- Payment details: when live checkout opens, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not collect or store your full card number on this site.
Why we collect it
- To send seating alerts — ten days before each seating, with the guest chef, time, location, and full menu — by the method you chose (text, email, or both).
- To process seat claims, hold your seats, send your confirmation and add-to-calendar link, and manage that night’s waitlist.
- To serve you correctly on the night: your per-seat pairing choices and any dietary or allergy notes you gave us in time (see the 48-hour rule in our Terms of Service).
- To follow up with chefs and venues who apply — Chef Scottie reviews signups personally and reaches out for a discussion when there may be a fit.
- To keep basic records of seatings — who attended, what was claimed, and any refunds — so we can run the business and answer questions about a past night.
Who can see it
Only Chef Scottie and The Cultivated Blueprint team who need it to run a seating. Beyond that, the only others who handle your information are the service providers we need to operate — for example, Stripe for payment processing, and the providers that deliver our emails and text messages. Those providers may use your information only to provide their service to us, not for their own marketing. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with anyone for marketing, and we do not share it with anyone else except when the law requires it.
Text messaging
By providing your phone number and choosing text alerts (Text or Both), you agree to receive texts from The Cultivated Blueprint about seatings and alerts — including seating announcements ten days ahead, claim and confirmation messages, and waitlist updates.
- Message frequency varies with seatings. There is no set schedule, so texts come only when there is a seating to announce or an update about a seat you claimed.
- Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
- Reply STOP to opt out of texts at any time. You will receive no further texts after you opt out, except a final confirmation of your opt-out if one is sent.
- Reply HELP for help, or email support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving.
- Opting out of texts does not cancel a seat you have already claimed. To cancel a seat, contact us by email — the cancellation and refund rules in our Terms of Service apply.
- If you opt out of texts but stay on the email list, we will use email only. You can rejoin text alerts by signing up again and choosing text.
How long we keep it
We keep alert-list information for as long as you stay on the list, so you keep receiving alerts for future seatings. We keep seat-claim records — including pairing and dietary notes for that night — for as long as we need them to run that seating, handle refunds or questions, and keep our business records, and then we delete or anonymise them when they are no longer needed. Chef and venue signups are kept while we are considering collaborations and venues, and for a reasonable period afterwards so we can refer back to them for a future seating. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so sooner, subject to the limited records we must keep for payment, tax, or legal reasons.
Your choices — copy, correction, and deletion
You can ask us at any time for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Email support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving from the email address you signed up with, and tell us what you would like. We will respond and act on your request promptly. Asking for deletion removes you from the alert list, so you will no longer receive seating alerts. Deletion does not cancel a seat already claimed unless you also ask us to cancel it — and the refund rules in the Terms will apply to that cancellation based on when you contact us.

Terms of Service
The Cultivated Blueprint (DBA The Cultivated Blueprint) · Last updated November 2026 · Questions: support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving
These terms cover The Cultivated Blueprint — a pop-up dinner series offering five courses with pairings, for one night only, capped at thirty seats, with no set schedule. By joining the alert list, claiming a seat, or submitting a chef or venue signup on this site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Seats, price, and how claiming works
- Each seat is $175++ — tax and gratuity are added on top at checkout. Five courses and the pairing for each seat are included in the seat price.
- There is no set schedule. When a seating is set, an alert goes out to the full alert list ten days before, with the guest chef, time, location, and the complete menu.
- The first 30 people to RSVP and pay get seats. Once 30 seats are claimed and paid, the seating is capped. Everyone after that joins the waitlist for that night, in order.
- Your confirmation — by text, email, or both, as you chose — with an add-to-calendar link is what confirms your seats. If seats open up, they are offered to the waitlist in order.
- Each seating is one night only, and its menu is never repeated.
The menu, pairings, and substitutions
- The full menu is sent with the alert, before you claim. Read it before you decide — courses are served as written.
- There are no substitutions — nothing taken off a plate and nothing added on — with one exception: any seat may choose the non-alcoholic pairing instead of the wine pairing. Pairing is chosen per seat when you claim, so guests at the same table can choose differently.
Allergies and dietary needs — 48 hours’ notice only
Allergies and dietary needs are accommodated only when you tell us more than 48 hours before the seating — there is an optional field for each seat in the claim form, and you can also email support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving. Inside 48 hours, and on the night itself, we cannot accommodate allergies or dietary needs and there is no night-of accommodation. Leaving a seat’s dietary fields blank means that seat has nothing for the kitchen to plan around.
Cancellations and refunds
- Cancel more than 48 hours before the seating: full refund.
- Cancel less than 48 hours before the seating: no refund.
- To cancel, contact us at support@thecultivatedblueprint.giving. The time we receive your cancellation is what counts against the 48-hour deadline. Opting out of text messages (replying STOP) does not cancel a seat.
Chef and venue signups are applications only
Submitting a chef signup or a venue signup is an application and the start of a conversation — nothing more. It does not guarantee a chef an invitation to collaborate, and it does not guarantee a venue a booking or a seating at their space. Chef Scottie reviews signups and will reach out directly for a discussion when there may be a fit. No payment is taken for chef or venue signups.
Alerts and text messages
Joining the alert list does not guarantee you a seat — it only guarantees you receive the alert. Text messaging terms, including frequency, message and data rates, STOP to opt out, and HELP for help, are set out in our Privacy Policy.
Site content
Everything on this site — the name The Cultivated Blueprint, the text, menus, and images — is owned by The Cultivated Blueprint and may not be copied or reused without our permission, except for sharing a link to the site. We may update these terms; the version posted here with its November 2026 date (or a later updated date) is the version that applies.
