Welcome to the magical idea of spawning a creative dining installation, where the environment is inspired by Frida Kahlo.

My vision is guided by my personal inspirations from her secret life, her work, and perceptions of what she would have done or been like if certain elements had turned out differently in her life. Using the theme of a Garden arose as I realized that a garden is a harmonious existence that increases in beauty the more and diverse the flowers, leaves, trees, and bushes that exist there. The dining table is will be the soil, the diners are roots, and the conceptual edible elements are the various floral interpretations from the seeds of Frida’s life.

This allows the creativity to take on an unparalleled interpretation without any boundaries, one’s that tend to be blocked by conventional inspirations. Creating a new dining universe both in ambiance, dining style, and cuisine.

Due to the nature of this conceptual menu, no vegetarian or vegan changes can be accommodated.

Taste + Design = Movement

CR8 is a pop up dining installation concept based in Seattle, Washington.  What happens when changes happen to the order and expectations of what we were taught as to be normal?  We now have a blank canvas unto which we can paint new experiences to call our own. With the factors of location, ambiance, food and taste alterations along with new tools from the design world, it speaks of a new direction in dining.  An exploration in which creativity leads the flow of what is to happen and not what is normal and expected. Come with an open mind, free spirit and playful palate and hopefully you will  leave with a hint of emotional movement.  Chef tasting menu of 8 courses will take place.. No substitutions on the menu, please notify about any allergies…
