Closer: Cooking & Company

What if meeting someone special didn’t start with small talk over a drink, but with doing something meaningful together?

Closer: Cooking & Company is a unique singles experience for people in their 30s–50s who want real connection, not swiping. One week before Valentine’s Day, we’re coming together to cook meals for neighbors experiencing food insecurity in Los Angeles, in partnership with Our Big Kitchen LA (OBKLA), while creating space for authentic, human-to-human connection along the way.

Before, during, and after cooking, you’ll be gently guided through playful, thoughtful connection games designed to help you actually meet people, beyond surface-level conversation. No forced flirting. No pressure. Just real moments of presence, laughter, and shared purpose.

And the best part:
 100% of the $36 ticket price goes directly to charity.
Every dollar supports OBKLA’s mission to nourish bodies and build community through food.

What to Expect

• A welcoming, judgment-free environment for singles 30s–50s
 • Hands-on meal prep supporting food-insecure communities in LA
 • Guided connection experiences that make meeting people feel natural
 • A shared sense of purpose, contribution, and community
 • The kind of night that feels good long after it’s over

Whether you meet a romantic spark, a new friend, or simply leave with a fuller heart, this is an evening designed to remind you what connection can feel like.

Who This Is For

This event is for singles who are curious, kind, emotionally aware, and open to meeting others in a more intentional way. You don’t need to be an expert at anything, cooking or relating. Just come as you are.

Spots are limited to keep the experience intimate and meaningful.
If you’ve been craving connection that actually matters, this is your invitation.
