I attended the opening night of an event that combines two of my favorite things; art and food. The “Art of Food” exhibit is in it’s 7th year at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center.

The opening night exhibit showcased various art with a food theme along with food that was artistic and delicious from top chefs at some of the best restaurants in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.

I thought this next dress reminded me of lemon merinque. My friend thought it was supposed to resemble a marshmellow.

What do you think?

My other focus was the food! I’ll admit that I had been saving room in my stomach all day in anticipation of what my tastebuds were going to experience from all of the amazing restaurants. They did not disappoint!

I thought this potted plant presentation concept for the hummus was really creative.

I felt that it was my duty to sample at each chef’s table.
