Sound and Flavor
Every note has a flavor and every dish has a song. We put them on the same plate.

Music N Food

Where the world eats good food with amazing music. Master chefs and virtuoso musicians, one stage, one table.

The Show

Three ways into the kitchen. Each one treats the song and the plate as one piece of work.

Live Sessions

Intimate performances staged inside working kitchens. The sizzle of the pass and the swell of the band, captured in a single take.

Signature Plates

The dishes chefs are proudest of, and the records that were playing when they dreamed them up. Full recipes, with the soundtrack attached.

Sonic Pairings

What does a dry-aged ribeye sound like? Which Coltrane track belongs beside the bouillabaisse? Chefs and composers build pairings you taste with your ears.

Season one is served like a tasting menu. Each course is a series, and each comes with its own pairing.

Amuse-bouche
Sonic Seasoning

A composer scores one dish to push its flavor. You taste it at home twice: once in silence, once with the track.

First course
Kitchen Sessions

The line becomes the rhythm section. Every chop, sear and pour is sampled live and built into a song by service's end.

Passport Plates

One city, one home cook, one local musician. The dish and the song that city can't live without.

Dessert
Sweet Notes

Pastry chefs cut the sugar and let the music carry the sweetness. We test whether you can tell.

Nightcap
Encore Plates

After the show, backstage. The artist, the late-night craving, and the chef who makes it right.

Pairs withA stripped-down acoustic encore

All series are in development. Join the list to hear when the first course is served.

Taste With Your Ears

Research on "sonic seasoning" shows music can nudge how sweet, sour or bitter food tastes. Pick a taste to hear what it sounds like.

Choose a taste

Take a bite of something, press its taste, and listen. Then taste it again in silence and notice what changed.

Sound plays only when you press a button. Turn your volume down a little first.

A great meal is a song you eat slowly. A great song is a meal that lasts forever.
