BasketShop Gallery

Basketshop is dedicated to following the trend of a creative generation that relocates themselves to the bread basket of our society. In the divided state of affairs we have found ourselves in collectively, our response is to invoke the notion of weaving as a model for harmonious interactions. We are focused on bringing communities together in order to create a vessel that is constructed and defined by disparate points of view. Basketry is among the first forms of craft that served humanity as both art and function through design. The goal of our program is to externalize the structure of artistic process so that it can be accessible to everyone.

Taste of Belgium

Food/Drink ; Retail

Taste of Belgium is a restaurant group of Belgian-inspired eateries. We take traditional Belgian recipes and we twist them; we take American classics and we Belgianize them. In 2007, Jean-François Flechet brought back a 120lbs cast iron waffle maker from his native Belgium. He began baking the waffles he grew up with at the back of a produce store at Findlay Market. After a few weeks, the store was congested with waffle-eating-people and Jean-François was told he needed to find a new home. The little waffle place grew, one waffle at a time to become a new Cincinnati/Columbus favorite. From one person and a waffle iron, Taste of Belgium expanded into multiple food establishments including two market locations: one at Findlay Market (Cincinnati, OH) and one at the North Market (Columbus, OH) and four full service Bistros serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and a unique weekend brunch with a large selection of Belgian beers. You might have seen Taste of Belgium featured at the Great American Ballpark as the official waffle of the Cincinnati Reds or on Food Network’s Diner’s, Drive-ins & Dives. With national recognition, Taste of Belgium is becoming a Cincinnati staple and food lovers destination. Taste of Belgium draws on its Belgian heritage to create a one-of-a-kind, Belgian-inspired, locally infused culinary experience. We thumb our nose at convention and treat our guests and their taste buds to unexpected combinations and unorthodox preparations.
