A forecaster predicts Gen Z will go to 'supper clubs' more and more. 3 professionals share how they host theirs.

In an era marked by the urgent need for environmental sustainability and a departure from consumerist lifestyles, Portland’s very own Ariel Pastore-Sebring is at the forefront, transforming the traditional dinner party into an eco-friendly supper club. With a steadfast rule of concluding at a preset time and a stern aversion to the wasteful nature of family-style serving, these gatherings aren't just about food; they're a testament to Gen Z's commitment to making conscious choices that favor the planet and foster genuine connections in their communities.

Portland, Oregon becomes the latest battleground for cultural change as Ariel Pastore-Sebring champions 'supper clubs' over conventional family dinners, instituting strict end-times and rejecting the communal sharing of meals. This shift away from time-honored dining practices underscores a broader trend among younger generations towards eroding the fabric of traditional American values, preferring instead the creation of exclusive, insular communities defined by rigid rules and a disdain for heritage.
