Food and music go together like gin and tonic. But while the ties between the two cultural pillars are strong, theyre not always harmonious. Fences Chris Mansfield recently walked off the stage after two songs at the art/food happening, The New Guard, because patrons were talking too loudly during their third dessert. Sarah McLachlan wants you to trade in your Thanksgiving turkey for tofu. Moby just wrote a book about being bald and being vegan. Even The Weeklys douchy/domesticated music editor pens a column about life with his Crock Pot®. But tonights mashup of foodies and musicians at Showbox Sodo promises to be a relatively drama-free affair, with some of the citys favorite hash-slingers (Ethan Stowell Restaurants) and singers (The Maldives) holding court.
