Talking Food in Maine: Intimate Conversations – Guest Christian Hayes - Free! - A free series of one-on-one conversations between host Cherie Scott of Boothbay and notable culinary pioneers who have made a substantial contribution to the culinary arts in the state of Maine. Christian Hayes, a seventh generation Mainer and Food Network Chopped Champion, balanced the parallels between professional musician and full-time cook for close to 2 decades before he and his wife and business partner, Christine, launched Dandelion Catering Co. in 2008. Together, they opened The Garrison, eight months before the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close. Hayes then launched an online market and the kitchen at The Garrison was reworked to support a whole new operation, Thoroughfare – an ode to his love for indulgent and messy fast food. Thursday, May 18 at 7 p.m.  No tickets or reservations are required to attend.
