Eat it Up: Food Talks with Mark Segal Continues at Seacoast Repertory Theatre

Eat It Up: Food Talks! will be taking stage for its monthly talk, now the fourth in its ongoing Chef Series at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre. This time, Mark Segal of Tinios Hospitality group will be presenting. The goal of the series is to provide the Seacoast community with a view into local and national food culture with a focus on sustainability, artistry, and innovation. Eat It Up aims to provide a space for food enthusiasts and professionals to have a dialogue with some of the drivers of our local food culture.

Mark Segal has a long history on the Seacoast, having most recently worked as Chef at the 100 Club and Demeter's Steak House before joining Tinios Pro Hospitality Group this summer. During his long career he has worked in kitchens with many of the more prominent chefs on the Seacoast.

"We're really excited to have Mark," says host Brian Kelly. "We've been kicking around ideas for his talk for a while. He's really put some thought into it."

Eat It Up: Food Talks is co-produced by Evan Mallett of Black Trumpet, Brian Kelly and Kathleen Cavalaro of eight/one productions, and Knate Higgins of the Seacoast Repertory Theatre. They have two more talks scheduled, the next being with Gregg Sessler of Cava in November.

Seacoast Repertory Theater and Eat It Up donate a portion of all ticket sales to The Chefs Collaborative's Culinary Sponsorship Program, a non-profit network of chefs dedicated to changing the sustainable food landscape using the power of connections, education and responsible buying decisions.
