where fine art meets fine chefs

Washington DC
On October 5, 1997 over 3,000 people gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art gallery to witness Washington DC's hottest event of the year. The artist FrederiC somehow gathered 31of DC's finest chefs in one place for his blockbuster show entitled "Where Fine Art Meets Fine Chefs".

Over one thousand attendees waited on cue to enter the gallery as artist and chefs took photos. The guests were entertained by a live jazz band, fine wine and beer tastings and cognac from A. de Fussigny.

But the action was certainly awaiting
them inside!
