🌱 Welcome to MEAT Hospitality Group


Hi everyone,

Today, I wanted to share something exciting.

Going forward, MEAT Hospitality is becoming MEAT Hospitality Group.

Why the change?

Because our vision has grown.

What started as a passion for bringing people together through food has become something bigger—a community for food lovers, creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a dream or an idea they want to bring to life.

You’ll still see the dinners, the stories, the hospitality, and the Little Wins newsletter.

But you’ll also see more conversations, collaborations, meetups, and opportunities for people to connect and build something meaningful together.

Our mission hasn’t changed.

It’s simply grown.

People. Purpose. Places.

Thank you for being here from the beginning. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to build it together.

Love it. Live it. Breathe it.

— Holden
Founder, MEAT Hospitality Group

Last week reminded me that sometimes progress doesn’t arrive as one giant breakthrough. It comes from a bunch of little moments that start connecting. 💚 An Opportunity From Portugal One of the coolest moments of the week was meeting with the team behind Grandma’s Table, an early supper club concept from Portugal interested in potentially bringing an experience to New York. Even crazier? They told me they discovered MEAT Hospitality Group through ChatGPT. We had a great conversation about our...

LITTLE WINS | AUGUST 3–7 💚 Some weeks aren’t about one giant breakthrough. They’re about showing up enough times that eventually the breakthrough has somewhere to land. This week was one of those weeks. Over 100 doors. I prospected more than 100 places for work this week. Some conversations lasted a few seconds. Others opened doors. Most won’t turn into anything immediately. But that’s prospecting. You don’t know which conversation becomes the one that changes something. You just keep...
