Eat it Up!: Food Talks, The hit food-focused talk series makes its way to 3S Artspace for a new season of culinary chit-chat. 

Eat it Up! began last year at Seacoast Rep as an vehicle for chefs and other food producers to engage with the public in an honest and intimate way. For each show, the guest determines the format, whether it be a lecture, an interview, a demonstration, or a combination of those. Host Brian Kelly acts as interviewer, stage manager, and emcee. 

First up on the chopping block is Chefs Collaborative board member and Black Trumpet owner and executive chef Evan Mallett, who will be talking about the challenges of trying to fix a broken food system while dealing with the seemingly exponential increase in Portsmouth-area restaurants, balancing family life, wrestling with language, writing a book in small gaps of spare time, and growing old behind the stove.

Each event will begin with a three-course dinner at 6pm. A special menu will be created by the featured speaker in collaboration with the Block Six kitchen, led by Chef Sam Ostrow. In addition to the pre-show dinner, this year will also see the introduction of a unique musical component. Portsmouth-based musician Nathan Groth will DJ during the dinner hour, infusing his set with live samples of sounds from the kitchen.

A limited number of tickets for dinner and the show are available for $75 per person, and $70 for 3S and Seacoast Repertory Theatre members.
