SMALL PLANET KITCHEN - Weekly Dinners
Pluto’s Weekly Community Dinner 🪐
Every Friday · 5:00 PM · Pluto
You weren't meant to eat alone.
Small Planet Kitchen is a simple ritual for ending the week around a shared table with good food and good people. As much as possible, each meal is made with Merkaba Acres' locally-grown, organic produce to nourish both body and soul.
For Pluto Members + their guests.
Bring a friend, meet someone new, or just come eat with us.
THE MENU: Lemongrass & Herbs 🌿🍚
Bright, fresh, and a little bit fiery — just how the end of the week should feel.
🍗🌱 Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken (or Tofu) Vermicelli Bowl
Grilled lemongrass chicken or tofu over rice vermicelli, topped with quick-pickled carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, and plenty of fresh herbs — produce courtesy of Merkaba Acres 💚
Vegan/vegetarian option available.
Choose your sauce:
🥜 Thai Satay Sauce (Vegan/Vegetarian) — peanut, coconut milk, red curry paste, and lime
🌶️ Nuoc Cham (Contains Fish Sauce) — Merkaba Acres' hot pepper and garlic, with lime and fish sauce
Since we have limited dishes and cutlery on site, if you can, please bring your own plate/bowl/takeout container + cutlery to help us keep things simple and low-waste.
🌱 DIETARY NEEDS
We’ll share each week’s menu and any dietary options in advance. Because these dinners are intentionally simple and affordable, we may not be able to accommodate every dietary restriction.
If the meal doesn’t work for you, bring your own food and join us anyway. It's about eating together.
🪐 AFTER DINNER
Help us clear the table and reset the space, then stick around for whatever is happening at Pluto that evening. On quieter Fridays, we might watch a movie, play something, or just keep hanging out.
🍽️ COMMUNITY MEAL
All Pluto Members + their guests are welcome to join. You only pay if you’re eating from the communal meal.
You are also welcome to bring a side, dessert, drink, or anything else to share potluck-style. Totally optional.
🫶 WANT TO COOK?
Small Planet Kitchen is stewarded by Pluto's member-led Small Planet Kitchen Pod. Each week, a Pluto member cooks a wholesome meal for the community. The menu changes, but the idea stays the same: good food, shared simply.
