About Us

Born from a feeling. Built with intention.

How Sanguine was founded by Chann and Montrel Little, a couple whose love for food, storytelling, and community became something more. “How Sanguine” began as a personal phrase — a reminder to stay hopeful in the face of uncertainty. Today, it's a living, breathing experience.

Together, we've hosted dozens of sold-out dinners, built a community of 400,000+ followers, and turned a single table into a movement. Our goal is simple: bring joy, intimacy, and artistry back to the table — wherever that may be.

What we do

  • Private Dining
    Multi-course themed dinners in private spaces or your own home. Intimate. Curated. Unforgettable.
  • Creative Events
    From DJ nights to cooking classes to artist pop-ups — every event is designed to feel like a warm invitation.
  • The Space
    Our Charlotte-based studio is a gallery, a restaurant, and a refuge — all in one. Available for rentals and curated programming.

Our Studio

Tucked inside the Kinship community at Camp North End, our 968-square-foot studio (with 14 ft ceilings) is more than just a space — it’s an experience. Designed to feel intimate, creative, and inspiring, the studio serves as the heart of How Sanguine.

Located in one of Charlotte’s most vibrant neighborhoods, we’re surrounded by art installations, local businesses, and cultural activations — though, let’s be honest, you probably won’t need to leave once you’re here. This is a culinary studio first and foremost — made for gathering, creating, and indulging.

Our studio is available to rent for:

  • Private Events & Dinners
  • Podcast & Content Production (fully equipped with a cozy recording setup)
  • Small-Batch Culinary Projects or Pop-ups (access to a commercial kitchen setup)

Whether you're hosting, filming, or just dreaming up something beautiful — the studio is your canvas.

what does sanguine mean?

Sanguine means staying optimistic or positive, especially in tough or uncertain situations. What started as playful banter between us quickly became a term embraced by our social media family. Now, it's our way of expressing community, connection, and endearment. Think of it as our own bit of slang that has taken on a deeper meaning.


As Black gay men, we know the world can be a challenging place. Yet, we continuously choose joy and hope in the face of adversity. Our lives are a testament to the belief that, no matter what society tells you to be, you can carve your own path with optimism and resilience—and come out stronger.
