Luncheon by Grist | Provisions with Intention
As always, we are thrilled to partner with local women owned businesses in our Dayton community and we are excited to have Casey, chef and co-owner, and her team create a wonderful meal for us to enjoy during our event.
Casey VanVoorhis
I’ve always been one to push my limits, so, of course, I loved the fine dining scene. I loved practicing new techniques, learning the anthropology behind food, and working the rush of a busy dinner service. Fine dining was a beautiful season of my life. Moving to San Fransico with the love of my life, working 17-hour days and flopping down, exhausted, next to my wonderful husband on an air mattress (we didn’t have much furniture at the time) just to push even harder the next day. It was awesome.
But for me, it wasn’t a sustainable lifestyle. I missed my family, missed community and we were growing up and starting to talk about starting a family of our own.So we built our resumes, and gained experience so one day we could open a spot, our spot, and make it everything we wanted.
Enter Grist. It’s everything we’ve worked toward. We wanted to make a place that employees would be proud of, where guests can feel both relaxed and spoiled, and where Patrick and I (and our girl, Taylor) could pour our hearts into.

4 course Puerto Rican Dinner
2025-04-15 18:30 - 20:00 | Mazu, 229 xenia Ave, Yellow Springs, OH, United States
We are thrilled to be hosting Amanda Duprey Hernandez to share her love and passion for her homeland of Puerto Rico and its cuisine, people, and culture. Amanda was born in Guayama, and grew up in Philadelphia, PA. After moving to the mainland, it was imperative to her family to not lose its culture: they spoke only Spanish at home and at 9 years old, Amanda started to learn how to cook with her mom.

As Amanda shares, “It was an art form for multiple reasons: our culture has a rich history, and we were food insecure. So, finding the balance was key. My experience with food insecurity is what informed my food security work and my move to Ohio in 2021. Now, I speak on the importance of culturally appropriate food security and the importance of food sovereignty.” At this unique homecoming for Amanda to once again cook at MAZU, she has prepared a beautiful 4 course menu to pay homage to Puerto Rico today and an independent Puerto Rico of the future!

Amanda’s Menu:

1. Rellenos de Papa (stuffed potato balls)
2. Puerto Rican Gazpacho (inspired by a cold fish-based dish, not a soup!)
3. Yellow Rice with Walnut Picadillo
4. Dessert of Coquito Tres Leche Cake with Coconut and Almonds
Note: The first three courses are gluten free. A gluten free dessert can be prepared upon request.
