Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut:
We’re so pleased to announce Taproot Restaurant as our feature for this year’s Food Is Art event!! A special treat it will be. Connecticut cuisine brought to you by Jeff Taibe and Steph Sweeney.
Jeff Taibe previously served as the Executive Chef of Kawa Ni (Westport), a Japanese izakaya serving globally inspired small plates and ramen, and Oak and Almond (Norwalk), a New American restaurant featuring farm-to-table wood-fired fare.
Prior to bringing his simple and seasonal cooking style to Connecticut’s burgeoning restaurant scene, Taibe earned his stripes all over the globe. His resume includes positions in Thailand, St. Pierre (Singapore), and Beaches (Turk & Caicos), as well stints at Abigail Kirsch and Union Square Cafe in his native New York.

FEATURING CHEF – Jeff Taibe
“Food Is Art” is an artisanal experience to satisfy just about every sense. Celebrating the art of food, simply and elegantly. We chose to pair the meal with complementary music outdoors in the beautiful and creative landscape at the historic Keeler Tavern Museum.
We hope the joining of cuisine, music, conversation, and creative context will, for a moment, nurture the soul, energize the body, and provide food for thought. Bon appetit…
