Visiting the home and gardens of Chef Rick Bayless was all it needed to be and more. Chef Bayless is warm and inviting, and generous with his knowledge and experiences… a master class in hospitality and storytelling. As I continue my exploration and research into foodways, the intersections of art•food•identity, and community archiving, I fall deeper in love with my city and discover small ways to experience joy amidst the heartbreak.

Love our idea of date night 💚
