“This concept has been kicking around in my head for years now. I’ve always wanted to try and do something inspirational and entertaining, bridging the gap between fine arts and culinary arts. The chef’s have to create a composition based on the subject matter of the artist. I think this is going be wild,” said Louis DiBiccari.
The event will also feature a piece of artwork being created on-site, to be auctioned off at the end of the event, as well as several works of art by each participating artist, available for purchase on-site.
