About
Us
Queer People
We strive to cultivate an environment where Queer people always have a seat at the table. LGBTQIA+ folks of all creeds and walks of life are encouraged to come feast with us! Allies are also welcome.
third culture
In addition to all of us being Queer, we also have shared passions for the art of food and beverage. Expect “third culture” cuisine shaped by our Californian upbringings, and inspired by our (mostly) Asian heritage.
Special Moments
We believe sharing an intimate meal is the perfect stage for meeting new friends, lovers, flings, or whatever your heart desires. We ask all to come to the tale with an open heart and empty stomach.
What We Do
Deluxe Queer is a group of LGBTQIA+ friends based in San Francisco, aiming to foster genuine community. Through sit down meals, restaurant pop-ups and brand collaborations with ever-changing seasonal menus, we hope to bring fellow queers together one bite at a time!
Events are typically ticketed, by reservation only and consist of a multi-course tasting menu. If spontaneity is more your thing, we make sure to do walk-in, à la carte experiences as well! (Psssst, we also may or may not offer catering).
Meet the
Queers
SEan
THEY / THEM / THEIRS
As one of the founders, Sean is the diva that is in charge of admin, mostly likely answering your emails and DMs, and cooking a lot of the savory goodness at our dinner parties. They love getting to foster community and making sure all the lovely Queers get fed! They were inspired to start Deluxe Queer after being forced to make a Pride Brunch, and randomly picking Deluxe Queer as their TikTok handle.
Most likely drinking: Ferrari shot
Most likely snacking on: Costco Polish Dog (RIP) w/ lots of relish and mustard
At a dinner party ask Sean about: ice skating, gymnastics, or any gay ass sport…
REGEN
SHE / HER / HERS
California native and bisexual icon Regen Williams is co-founder of Deluxe Queer and head of all things pastry and dessert. Passionate about sustainability and continuous food learning, she is intent on taking an empathetic and realistic approach to fine dining for everyone. Originally having reached out to Sean begging them to let her cut vegetables and take the trash out, she is now so incredibly honored to work towards Deluxe Queer’s mission alongside some of the most talented and dedicated chefs and team members she has ever met.
Most likely drinking: Vodka martini with an olive or an ice cold lemon La Croix
Most likely snacking on: Sourdough crackers, fresh pâté, & something pickled
At a dinner party ask Regen about: all things food & fermentation, pop music of all eras, books with emotionally unstable female protagonists, and a detailed description of your ideal cheese board
DAVID
HE / HIM / HIS
David is the impromptu Chief of Staff that handles most of the physical admin and finances for Deluxe Queer. He is also one of the main hosts you’ll see at the door of our SF dinner parties to welcome you! As the third co-founder and transplant from Sacramento, he believes in our company’s mission of creating an alternative, intimate space for the local queer community.
Most likely drinking: Anything non-alc, perhaps something fruity or coffee flavored
Most likely snacking on: Churros
At our dinner parties, ask David about: D&D, art, coffee shops, Drag Race, or Excel spreadsheets
Echo
SHE / HER / HERS
Echo is the Floor Manager and she runs front of house alongside David. Her favorite part of Deluxe Queer is the people - staff and guests, alike! She was immediately drawn to Deluxe Queer’s warm and welcoming environment, and nothing makes her happier than good conversation and great food. When she’s not refilling your wine glass or serving up a delicious plate from Sean and Regen, you can almost certainly find her chitchatting.
Most likely drinking: Tall vodka redbull, two limes
Most likely snacking on: hot cheeto fries or a honeycrisp apple
At our dinner parties, ask Echo about: her cats (bug and poot), celeb gossip, her vehement distaste for horses, art history or the SF art scene, Pedro Pascal, her ability to light a lighter with her toes
CAMPBELL
SHE / HER / HERS
Campbell is a 4th generation San Franciscan and Virgo Hapa who acts as Deluxe Queer’s head decorator and table designer. With a penchant for visual curation, she loves setting the mood and creating immersive experiences for guests throughout their dining experience.
Most likely drinking: Fernet with a ginger beer chaser or a coconut La Croix
Most likely snacking on: Heavily buttered popcorn with a sprinkle of salt and MSG
At our dinner parties, ask Campbell about: her fashion school degree, Sims obsession or expansive collection of vintage dinner + kitchenware
