GEM: Are your own kids involved in the selec-
tion of the dining “destinations” at all? What are
some of their favorite foods?
D.C. We try to involve our kids with LDC as
much as possible. We get feedback from them on
what country’s cuisine we should explore next,
but Alayna and I ultimately make the final de-
cision. They understand that they are the hosts
of LDC as well and they love greeting kids when
they arrive.
Some of their favorite foods are sushi, guacamo-
le, salmon, shrimp, steak, and chicken. They’re
pretty open to trying new things, but we know
the foods that each of them don’t like.
Not every kid is going to like every dish, but we try
to allow them to explore a safe, moderate, and adventurous
dish during each event. It’s amazing to see how they
transition from being skeptical about trying new food to
becoming excited about the next dish coming
out of the kitchen.
GEM: Any plans on taking Little Diner’s Crew
nationwide in the future?
D.C. Yes, we’ve had requests to take the concept
to Los Angeles, so we’re hoping to host a LDC
event out there this summer. We really think that
the concept would be popular around the coun-
try. The feedback that we have received thus far
has been overwhelmingly positive as parents are
excited to try Little Diner’s Crew.
