Restaurant owners, chefs and their kitchen/wait staff are not only lovers of food, but music as well. Just about every type of kitchen you walk into regardless of size or location blare tunes over the speakers throughout their busy operating hours. Celebrity Chefs such as Anthony Bourdain and Marco Pierre White are often seen wearing rock t-shirts at events or on their respective television shows. Musicians enjoy good food and dining at restaurants whether they're on the road, at home or on holiday. The everyday consumer also likes food and music. Recently, the culinary world has successfully been blending and working with the music industry, creating fun and tasty marketing opportunities that have brought in events garnering revenue as well as the two things people love most together: food and music. Some of these opportunities include television shows such as IFC's "Dinner with the Band," food and beverage sponsorships/presence at music festivals and promotional music samplers. In this panel, we'll focus on and discuss some of these opportunities, accomplishments and outcome of branding the food world with the music scene nationally.
