Join us on Saturday, May 2nd, for d̶i̶r̶t̶ 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩, a new dinner work by Tsohil Bhatia (@tsohilbhatia) co-presented with Peel (@peel.space) in Pittsburgh, PA. The meal will be followed by a set from multi-disciplinary DJ, artist, and designer Formosa (@formosa.exe).

Guests gather for a shared eight-course meal in which the table becomes a site for speculation on the practices that have shaped what we consider to be either palatable or objectionable.

Drawing upon ingredients and methods that have existed for centuries—ash, clay, salt, grain, fruit, char, fermentation—the menu acts as a set of relations to land across geographies and over time. Recipes carry evidence of the propositions of the land. They draw from histories of accident, spoilage, and contamination, often incorporating ingredients that we have learned to distrust.

Through vocabularies of refusal and relation, the work reconsiders our prevailing conceptions of value and sustenance.

Capacity is limited! Learn more and reserve a seat ($50) at links in bio. 🔗

d̶i̶r̶t̶ 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 is made possible through essential support from the Carnegie Mellon School of Art, Brian Wongchaowart, Chris and Dawn Fleischner, and JADED (@jadedpgh).

Drinks graciously provided by @goodlandercocktails and @twofraysbrewery.

[On soft open] A vvvv belated recap of 2/20 <3<3<3

What a special night and subsequent month y’all gave us!We’ve received sm love and warmth from friends old and new and we could not have asked for a more wonderful start for this lil project of ours.

Our hearts are especially full bc of @clarine.lee @mmmingweig @el.hy.b @bader.not.found @zi.kxxgyxxg @josh._huang + Cleon. The night (and Peel in general) would not have been possible without you- we are so grateful and love you all dearly. I’m still devastated that there’s no pics of our mad dashing about that night.

We’ve been catching our breath (official opening/food/full menu updates (finally) coming soon pinky swear) but we’re so so excited for what’s to come <3

How Peel started! Looked back through camera roll to start of 2025- feeling fond of our earliest tastings, most of which were deliriously done at the ass crack of dawn and multitasked alongside the last of my college essays and projects #byebye

Peel came from a curiosity to understand our past and contextualize the present through food. A (tea)house that holds space for peeling back, inquiring within, lingering between, constructing upon, gathering amongst, etc, etc.

We’re so excited to share sustenance, space, and time with you. Coming very soon 。˚. ‧ ⋅。.
