A FEAST OF REASON
DINNER
The Feast of Reason is a card deck from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello,
designed to guide opinionated conversations while breaking bread together.

What’s a favorite childhood meal?
What food do you eat when
you’re stressed?
Entree:
Have you ever altered
a family recipe or tradition?
What is your “recipe”
for a thriving democracy
Dessert:

Who should really sit down
together and share a meal?
What did you hear from someone
that you disagree with, but want
to let simmer in your mind?
