The Virtue Men Have Stopped Practicing w/ Daniel Padrnos of Supra Dinner Society

Dela

Daniel Padrnos—co-founder of Supra Dinner Society and trained Tamada based in Seattle—joins Jason to explore the Georgian Supra: an ancient tradition of ritual feasting and toasting shaped by 1,700 years of Christian civilization in the Republic of Georgia. Daniel makes the case that hospitality is a distinctly masculine act and that the table your family already sits around is more powerful than you think.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What the Georgian Supra is—its origins, its structure, and the role of the Tamada as the host who sees every person at the table and draws out the best in them
  • Why ritual and shared etiquette don't constrain authentic encounter—they're the very conditions that make it possible
  • How to give a good toast: what Daniel has learned from hundreds of Supras and from Georgian masters of the tradition
  • The toast as a theological act: what Josef Pieper's philosophy of affirmation reveals about why men raise a glass
  • How to bring the Supra into your home, your men's group, and your family table—and why it may recover a virtue men have abandoned
