Cacio e Pepe Tarot joins Roux at The Hoxton for an evening of mini tarot readings with co-creator and artist Danielle Mainas. A VIP ticket will get you early access to the secret apartment room with your custom tarot pull, a tote with some fun surprises, a mystery cookbook, and w**e tasting from Rubato Wines 🍷 Come pull up a chair and get a little taste of destiny. ✨
Cacio e Pepe Tarot is a 78-card tarot deck that reimagines the traditional tarot entirely through food. Co-created by artist Danielle Mainas, writer Megan Morris and creative powerhouse Lindsey Newton, the deck began with a simple idea: food is a language we already know. Every dish carries memory, symbolism, desire and story, making food an intuitive bridge into the archetypes of the tarot.

So excited to be kicking off the Roux Weekend at PAMANA | FILIPINO AMERICAN EATERY (inside The Hoxton) with owner Geri Leung Bubu Arare.
Geri is the co-owner and creative force behind Pamana, the Filipino-American restaurant she runs with her husband, chef Ethan Leung. Together, they’ve built Pamana around family, food, heritage, and the idea of carrying something forward.
Before Pamana, Geri and Ethan ran the beloved Baon Kainan food cart and are soon growing into their second location in the former Expatriate space!
We’re excited to start the weekend with the people who make Portland’s food community special.

We’re kicking off the Roux weekend with two powerhouse women Dani Dillon (CARE OF CHAN) and Shanika Hillocks to discuss hospitality, connection, and the importance of creating meaningful experiences in an increasingly disconnected world - what that means to them right now, in their work, with the brands they collaborate with, and in the way they move through the world.
Help us welcome them from NY on Friday, October 9th at The Hoxton and then stay for the party after! We can’t wait to see you all! 〰️Tickets in our bio.
Dani is a Partner and the Director of Production at Care of Chan, bringing her deep expertise across hospitality, fine dining, and consumer brands to precise ex*****on of their events. In 2019, the inaugural year of Roux, we welcomed Sue Chan (founder of Care of Chan) so it only seems fitting to bring one of her partners to this year’s line-up. She’s worked in restaurants and hospitality most of her life and held prior roles at community-focused startups like The Wing and Michelin-starred restaurants like La Vara. And from what we can tell, she knows how to travel well and is the kind of producer we dream of!
