Little Diner’s Crew is a dining club for kids between the ages of 4-12. We expand kids palates beyond mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers. Each month LDC hosts a unique dining experience at a different restaurant that allow kids to travel the world through food. Kids interact with chefs, taste different cuisines, rate each dish, learn how food is prepared, and appropriate dining etiquette.

Let’s Travel to Italy
Join Little Diner’s Crew for a very special culinary experience celebrating Italian-American Heritage Month at The Albert at Hotel EMC2, Autograph Collection.
We’re taking our Crew to the Chef’s Table with Chef David Danielson for an unforgettable four-course journey through Italian-American cuisine—created exclusively for Little Diner’s Crew.
This experience is about more than what’s on the plate. Kids will sit at the Chef’s Table, where Chef Danielson will introduce each course, share the stories behind the ingredients and demonstrate how each dish comes together.
And there will be a little culinary magic along the way, including a tableside demonstration of cacio e pepe, where kids will see how something as simple as pasta water, cheese and pepper can transform into one of Italy’s most beloved dishes.
While the kids enjoy their Chef’s Table experience, parents will have their own dining experience at the adult table, making this an afternoon the entire family can enjoy.
Located inside Hotel EMC2, The Albert brings a contemporary approach to Italian-American dining, combining creativity, seasonality and a sense of discovery, making it the perfect setting for our next culinary adventure.
Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to discover Italy one bite at a time.
EAT. TRAVEL. EXPLORE.
Registration Closes October 23rd
Kids Restaurant Week™ Was a Success
A Flavor-Filled First Year to Remember
From May 3–7, Little Diner’s Crew proudly partnered with Lettuce Entertain You to launch the first-ever Kids Restaurant Week™—a one-of-a-kind culinary experience created to inspire young diners to explore the world through food.
Over five delicious days, families joined us for immersive dining experiences at five different Lettuce restaurants, each showcasing a unique cuisine and cultural experience. Our young food explorers traveled from America to Spain, Japan, France, and Italy—all without leaving the table.
Each child received a custom Kids Restaurant Week passport, which became their official ticket to culinary adventure. At the end of every experience, passports were stamped to commemorate each new cuisine explored—turning every meal into a memorable milestone.
This inaugural week was more than a series of meals—it was the beginning of what we hope becomes a beloved annual tradition for families seeking meaningful culinary experiences.
A huge thank you to our partner, Lettuce Entertain You, the participating restaurants, chefs, and every family who joined us for this exciting first chapter.
We can’t wait to see what’s on the menu for next year.
