Krissy Marsh’s Tuesday night dinner party has quickly become one of Sydney’s most coveted invitations.
What started as a weekly family and friends dinner tradition has turned into something closer to a social ritual. It comes complete with creators, media, friends, family, an alarming amount of caviar and a relentless supply of Skinny Bitches.
So naturally, when Guncle Diaries got an invite, we made him report back.

This week’s dinner was slightly different to the usual setup. Hosted in partnership with TikTok and OzHarvest, the guest list included creators Mitch Greer, Jeremy Franco and Albert Cho alongside media from the Daily Telegraph, News.com.au and Channel 7. We may or may not be a little salty that we didn’t received an invite.
Still, Guncle says the biggest surprise was how little it actually felt like an event.
“What surprised me most was how much it felt like walking into someone’s home rather than an event,” he tells us.
The table scape was also cracking as per usual
Despite the cameras and creators, he described the night as warm, relaxed and genuinely hospitable, with Krissy and her family making guests feel immediately at home.
And for those wondering…yes, Krissy appears to be very involved in the cooking.
This week’s dinner was held in partnership with TikTok and OzHarvest, with the menu built around Krissy’s increasingly popular no-waste approach to cooking. Guests were served dishes including overripe tomato bruschetta on stale bread, vodka pasta made with stock from leftover vegetables, and banana pudding with soft fruit.
“You can love caviar, and still hate food waste,” Krissy told guests.
“Imagine clicking your fingers and somebody appears with more caviar.” According to Guncle, he had “genuinely never consumed that much caviar” in his life.
And, fittingly, everyone left with containers of leftovers.
The drink of choice was equally consistent.
“Skinny Bitches. Relentlessly,” he says.
But once dinner got going, the night became more fluid. Guests moved around, met one another, danced and just generally leaned into the chaos people have come to know and love from the videos online.

Despite asking him specifically how much of the conversation was unpublishable, there was disappointingly little scandal to report.
“Honestly, what you see online is pretty much what it is. It’s laughter, dancing, chaos, humour and good conversation.”
The biggest takeaway, he says, was how normal the whole thing felt beneath the mythology. “It felt like being welcomed into somebody’s home rather than attending an event,” he tells us.
So, is Tuesday Night Dinner actually worth the hype? Obviously, yes.
“It absolutely lives up to the hype. Show up ready to eat, drink, dance, meet people and be a little outside your comfort zone.”
It explains why everyone wants a seat at the table.
