On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, food artist Jennifer Rubell makes us interact with art the way we do with food. Large scale installations are paired with public participation, illuminating the grandeur of society through dining and an art history discourse.

On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, Colby and Megan Garrelts, met during high dining in the Windy City, only to move back to Kansas City, Missouri, to open up bluestem, a redefining restaurant in the Midwest.

It started as a digital notebook to record their work restaurant kitchens. What it’s become is a starting point for many culinary round tables; how to concept an idea and give it the structure and clarity it needs. As seen in their book, IDEAS IN FOOD, they cultivate thought through classic techniques and innovative approaches … cook inquisitively and eat inspired.
