Be a part of San Francisco history in the making, as one of the first individuals to participate in DEVOURED, the first-ever, playfully interactive 4-course, gourmet experiential dinner party at the Armory’s exclusive 4th Floor. Curated by aphrodisiac expert and relationship coach Joy Nordenstrom, prepared by “Cutthroat Kitchen” finalist and Airbnb Inc.’s Executive Chef, Anisha Jagtap, who will be assisted by sensual food blogger Sous Chef Megan McCulloch.

Playfully tantalizing all five senses this event goes far beyond just another singles' event. With each exquisite course comes a full immersion of the senses with dazzling eye candy including the wait staff, aerial artist and the artistic presentation of the courses, a truly “blind” wine tasting experience where you’ll find out if you have “supertaster” skills, playful ways to get to know others, hand writing analysis, DJed music and where every bite is designed to titillate your taste buds.

On Thursday May 12th, in affiliation with the launch of Courteney Kay’s new matchmaking and event company Sparx (joinsparx.com), you are invited to join us for an experience to be remembered and savored.





Extra Special Value for ALL ATTENDEES: With the purchase of your ticket, you will be eligible to be a part of both Joy of Romance's Matchmaking Database and Sparx Matchmaking Database, which will then be expanded to five other Bay Area matchmaker's databases, this includes a personalized profile analysis and two personality quizzes. This alone is a $500+ value.



A special note to all the foodies out there: just in case you were wondering how awesome Anisha’s culinary abilities are both Zagat and Forbes included her as one of their 30 under 30 Stars.

The room will be evenly mixed with men and women. If ticket sales of one gender increase a waitlist will be created on the other gender’s list until the two are balanced again.

Rules of Play and A Warning:

One goal of the night is to score big Love Karma points not to collect a lot of phone numbers. You may have chemistry with the person you are sitting next to or not (and by the way we will be playing musical chairs throughout the courses). Keep in mind, if they aren't your "the one" they may know someone who could be. The objective is to put your best foot forward and get to know as many people of the opposite sex as possible.

Have fun, be ladies and gentlemen, be playful, respect boundaries, present your best self, see the best in others and allow dialogue to flow.

Your five senses will be engaged, taste buds will do the happy dance, you will learn something new about yourself, and, of course, you will be provided with lots of eye candy and inspiration.





The artwork and accouterments at the Armory are not for the faint of heart. Be prepared and hopefully not offended.





This evening is designed primarily for hetrosexual individuals simply due to logistics. In the future, we will most likely be partnering with both our favorite gay and lesbian matchmakers to accomodate their clients and databases.





This is by no means a swingers’ event.
