Food and Art.

Two of my favorite things. That's why I had to blog about a facebook message I got from the Lincoln restaurant Bread and Cup. Sadly, I haven't made it to this Haymarket restaurant that uses market fresh ingredients to make what sounds like absolutely delicious food.

On Saturday, Oct. 11, Bread and Cup is having a special event called "Chef and Artist Dinner." The restaurant is collaborating with local ceramic artists and will serve a four course meal on hand crafted dishes made by the team of artists. Diners can purchase the plate their food comes on; the purchase will be accompanied by a recipe for the meal the diner enjoyed. The event is by reservation only, and Bread and Cup will seat diners in groups of 4. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. and is $50 per person.
