Save the date for SSF25! We will be back at Discovery Green on October 4, 2025 with more great food, drinks and music to take care of our own. Thank you to everyone who cooked, poured, and attended in 2024. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
We raised an incredible $1.2 million at Southern Smoke Decanted 2025! We ate, we drank, we raised our paddles—and most importantly, we showed up for the food and beverage industry in a big way.
Mark your calendars: Southern Smoke Decanted 2026 is set for March 28 at our stunning new home, Lott Hall in Hermann Park. We can’t wait to do it all over again! Cheers! 🥂
