Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Sure, art “feeds your soul,” but if you were trapped on a deserted island for a year which would you rather have — a Rembrandt or a year’s supply of bacon and bourbon?
And yet, we agree there is a time when food and art intersect. A chef can create a dish that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. And, in turn, food can act as a muse for painters and sculptors who see the beauty in the curve of an apple or the texture of a cheese.
