ABOUT THE CURATION SERIES
The Curation Series is a multi-layered collaboration starting with Pickathon and Chef Jason French to curate six intimate food, music and beverage experiences at Pickathon festival in August. Each Curation event featured one Pacific Northwest chef paired with a musical artist to collaborate on a brunch or dinner menu reflecting common influences between both chef and musician. Co-hosts Jason French and Kelly Cox of The Original Fare introduce us to the musical and culinary artists and their creative process behind the scenes. The result is a synchronistic discovery of the ingredients that go into crafting an inspired life.
