Sunday Dinner Guys Lafayette: Jason Stoner & Stephen Rogers on the Table at the Center of It All
Share
A flood, a rebuilt kitchen, and a decision to use the “good dishes” turned into something bigger than a dinner party. We sit down in Jason Stoner and Stephen Rogers’ home to hear how Sunday Dinner Guys grew from a family birthday tradition into a monthly Lafayette supper club style night where strangers walk in and friends walk out.
We get specific about what makes these nights feel unforgettable: choosing a theme, designing a seven to eight course menu, pairing drinks from the welcome cocktail to dessert, and sourcing ingredients from local Lafayette favorites whenever possible. They share the behind-the-scenes reality too, from smoke alarms to imperfect courses, and why rolling with it is part of the craft.
Then we go deeper on the real point of it all: the table as a center of life. We talk about sobremesa, building community through food, keeping phones away to protect conversation, and how a thoughtful tablescape, music, and lighting help guests feel the story before the first bite. If you love dinner parties, Cajun culture, local food, and practical hosting ideas, this one delivers.
