A Work In Progress...

In August 2016, inspired by the idea that food binds humanity and creates community -- we set out on a 15,000 mile, 100 day journey around America.

​

From a beekeeper chef pushing boundaries with a hive-to-table concept at a Hilton hotel in the suburbs of Chicago, to a renowned cider maker preserving ancient apple varieties in rural New York, to a passionate once-homeless immigrant turned six-time James Beard Award finalist in Houston -- our mission was to dive deeply into the stories of some of the most influential chefs, farmers, winemakers, distillers and culinary artists around America.

What People Are Saying...

"I think Nick and Bay are wonderful. Every photo, lovingly prepared post and story are filled with their personal committment to helping people see the beauty and value of time spent with cuisine, family, and friends near and far. They also embody the true entrepreneurial spirit...so let's donate to this gifted PDX startup!"

"Nick and Bay of comewecreate are two warm-hearted souls who have no doubt lived a thousand lives before this one. They've got a great project to travel, write and create magic for their second book. To them, cooking is a vehicle for connecting family, friends and the local environment."

"Our good friends and longtime waffle lovers, comewecreate, are doing some amazing things with their project, The Art of Feeding. [...] Help them travel America, so they can help feed America and share the way that food builds community across our nation. Great job, Nick and Bay! We love you."

- Off the Waffle

"Nick & Bay are two exceptionally talented (cooks, caterers, photographers & authors) with a passion for food and all the benefits that a well-cooked meal shared amongst good company can bring. Folks that dare to lay everything on the line to pursue their passion / art should be supported as much as possible. It's these talents that they seek to share that make the world so much more interesting and beautiful."
