This ongoing project is a series of meals hosted on public land beside highways. At each gathering, guests are guided to this untended wild space to dine at a table set with iron plates cast from tires and deer teeth. The food served is foraged or grown locally, often in unexpected places. Participants are invited to share stories about their experiences with roadkill and wildlife in a space that is controlled, wild, dangerous, and beautiful.
