Bio

Jen Monroe is an artist, chef, and music curator based in Brooklyn. Her exploratory food project, Bad Taste, was born from a desire to push the boundaries between food and art after years of cooking in restaurants and working in food media. Her work, most notably her series of immersive ten-course monochromatic dinners, has been publicized in The New York Times, Paper, Dazed, and Vogue. Other projects as Bad Taste have included an ongoing series of dinners in response to the honey bee health crisis, a large-scale jello installation at Knockdown Center, a futuristic dinner in response to the effects of climate change, and a series of experimental cotton candy pop-ups.
