Created by Louisiana Public Broadcasting and Country Roads magazine, The Art of Food pairs a well-known Louisiana chef with renowned visual artists. The goal: to create a menu interpreting artwork into a series of unique dishes.
To be aired statewide on the LPB network, The Art of Food was created for LPB's Art Rocks! program, a visual and performing arts program focused on Louisiana culture, hosted by Country Roads magazine publisher James Fox-Smith.
This year's third annual showcase will feature internationally renowned muralist Francisco Diaz (aka Pastel), hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. During his two week stay in Louisiana, Diaz will create a series of large-scale outdoor art installations in Baton Rouge and beyond. Brought in to interpret the environmental themes of Diaz's works, Jeffrey Hansell of OxLot 9 restaurant will present his own series of unique dishes to be served at the Art of Food dinner.
6 pm–9 pm on Wednesday, November 6 at Lamar Advertising Corporate Headquarters, Baton Rouge. $150 per person. Proceeds support the Friends of Louisiana Public Broadcasting. bontempstix.com.
