The Culinary Curiosity exhibition is a celebration of technical innovation in the world of food drawn from the personal collections of food industry veterans, Mel and Janet Mickevic. It was formally on display from 2008 to 2019 throughout the school at Kendall College Goose Island campus.
More than 250 objects are organized in the displays according to food preparation techniques—mixing, roasting, forming, and so on. They are interpreted to reveal technological innovations.
