Founder Abimbola Oshodi was inspired to create Something Light Supper Club by her desire to create connection and community. The series officially launched in early 2026 and brings together themed menus, local \u201cfood architects,\u201d and a mission to create space for community. <strong>Read on for more about Something Light Supper Club and how you can reserve a seat at the next event.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-232839\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax-.png\" alt=\"something light supper club fairfax\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax-.png 1000w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax--800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax--768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax--585x390.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light-supper-club-fairfax--263x175.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>About the Founder<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founder Abimbola Oshodi moved to the United States from Nigeria about 12 years ago, though the move was not originally meant to be permanent.\u201cIt was actually a short-term vacation, or so I thought,\u201d she said. \u201cI had just graduated from college, and I wanted to explore the world a little bit.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After arriving, family members encouraged her to consider staying longer. \u201cThey said, \u2018We think you\u2019d do well here. Just explore and see,\u2019\u201d she shared. \u201cSo I began the immigration process, and here we are 12 years later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-232833\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola.png\" alt=\"something light_abimbola\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_abimbola-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Abimbola works full-time in program management, strategy, and communications for an automotive technology company, but hospitality has always been part of her life. Over the years, she hosted friends\u2019 birthdays, cooked, baked, occasionally tended bar, hosted church small groups, and brought together volunteer communities. Again and again, people told her she had a gift for creating experiences. \u201cPeople would always say the same thing: \u2018You curate really great events. You bring people together. You have such a great vibe. Why not try this full-time?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd here we are, seeing what that looks like.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abimbola launched <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethinglightsupperclub.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something Light Supper Club<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in early 2026. The name is a play on words, because as she says, \u201cNigerians don&#8217;t really do anything &#8216;light&#8217;.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as her goals, \u201cI wanted to build a community,\u201d Abimbola shared. \u201cI wanted people to come and connect with each other. I really enjoy hosting. I enjoy curating events.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/cheesetique-cheese-del-ray-northern-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheesetique in Del Ray Is the Northern Virginia Cheese Destination to Know<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the heart of the series goes beyond dinner. The founder also has a sibling with Down syndrome, and part of the event\u2019s mission is to give caregivers and people connected to the special needs community a moment of respite.\u201cAt every supper club, we have two people who are caregivers or people with special needs in one capacity,\u201d she said. \u201cWe give them these two hours to unwind, rest a little bit, and just laugh &#8211; away from the seriousness of their life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How it Works<\/h3>\n<p>Abimbola puts together each event around a theme, which could be an ingredient, a place, or a feeling. From there, she works with what she calls a \u2018food architect\u2019 to come up with the menu. \u201cI found out the best meals are not always made by professional chefs,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been to two- and three-star Michelin restaurants, and they are good, sure. But the best foods I\u2019ve ever had have been made with love, made with heart.\u201d <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term creates room for people who may not be classically trained but know food deeply, whether through culture, family, experimentation, or lived experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-232834\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny.png\" alt=\"something light_chef renny\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_chef-renny-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first event came together through a collaboration with her friend Morenike Ayo-Vaughn, who goes by Renny, whom she met at church. The two had bonded over their shared love of hosting. Renny had previously hosted food events and still wanted to cook for people, but did not want to handle every detail of event curation. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renny came up with the menu, and Abimbola decorated the space and coordinated the crowd. The end result was a wonderfully curated event, and proof that they could pull it off. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Experience<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guests can reserve their seats in advance via Eventbrite. Tickets are $125 and include a four-course dining experience: one appetizer, two family-style entr\u00e9es, one dessert, two drinks, either cocktails or a wine pairing, depending on the menu, plus a souvenir to take home. The souvenir is also part of the Nigerian element of the event. \u201cGuests can\u2019t leave empty-handed from a Nigerian event,\u201d Abimbola explained. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s just as easy to go with a friend as to go alone, since the point is to make connections. The meal is interactive in a way that feels fun and natural. Abimbola and Chef Renny kept the pace up and explained each dish before it was served. In between courses, we did some icebreakers to get the conversation flowing. By the end of the night, the room was full of laughter and energy, which is saying something as most of the attendees arrived without knowing each other. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-232836\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu.png\" alt=\"something light_menu\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_menu-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the dinner we attended, the meal was centered around plantains. Most of us are familiar with fried plantains, but Chef Renny\u2019s imagination took the starchy fruit all around the world with sweet, savory, and fusion dishes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She is the co-author of a cookbook dedicated to plantains, called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/10easywaystoloveplantain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 Easy Ways to Love Plantain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so this was an easy pick for her. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chef Renny said she loves to explore other food cultures and infuse them with her native Nigerian cuisine. \u201cFor today, a lot of the dishes started with something traditionally Nigerian, with the plantain, but then I added my own take,\u201d she said. \u201cAdding ingredients like coconut milk or just using the plantain in a different way.\u201d One of the standout dishes was Plaintain Beds with Savory Ground Beef, which Chef Renny said was inspired by tostones and Thai pad krapow.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abimbola said that future themes may include nostalgic concepts, different decades, specific places, and ingredients that connect cultures across regions. Through her own study of food and food history, she has become interested in the way one ingredient can travel across countries and cultures, showing up in different forms depending on the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne ingredient tends to spread across different regions, and they just make it a little differently,\u201d she said.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-232835\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal.png\" alt=\"something light_meal\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/06\/something-light_meal-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of all, Abimbola wants people to know that the door is open. \u201cThere\u2019s somebody in Fairfax County who is willing to host them,\u201d she said. \u201cThe table is always there for them.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessibility is also part of the vision. She hopes to keep the price point approachable while still preserving the full experience: the meal, the gift, the atmosphere, and the chance to be part of something a little out of the ordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/locals-to-watch-may-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May Locals to Watch: From the Heart Edition<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEveryone is truly welcome,\u201d she said. \u201cWe tried to keep it at this price point to make it more accessible while preserving the elements of the experience.
