In an era that still excluded women artists in

museums, Samuel F.B. Morse made a point to note

female artists painting in the Louvre. The chefs of

Eleven pay homage to another female artist: Eugenie

Brazier (1895-1977)—“The Mother of French

Cooking”—for being the first French chef, male or

female, to earn six Michelin stars, and for turning Lyon

into the gastronomic capital of France.

At the time Gallery of the Louvre was painted, it was

customary to present such large-scale works in a

single-painting exhibition. Here at Eleven, we believe

that dining out should be enjoyed in the same fashion.

Chef Bill Lyle says: “Every day we see art all around us

and consume food for sustenance; but once in a while

we need to stop and enjoy it as the main event.” The

Scallops Au Gratin is just that—the main event.

While enjoyed by critics, Gallery of the Louvre was

rejected by the public. This crushed Morse’s passion

for painting. Morse’s subsequent work with the

telegraph helped to make trans-Atlantic

communication possible, shortening the gap between

the United States and Europe. This cross-cultural

connection is deliciously represented with classic

beignets, originally a French specialty, but today

associated more frequently with New Orleans: the

cultural and culinary melting pot of America.

Samuel F. B. Morse’s Gallery of the Louvre and the Art of Invention is on view January 23 – April 18.
