Abstract
Widow's Walk is a Design Team project created for a chef's table held by a group of Plant Based Cuisine students. For the project, the students designed a logo, stamps, comment cards, course cards, invitations, menus, letter backs, as well as hand-written letters from the perspective of a distraught 1920s housewife. The project involved allowing the ideas of the Plant Based Cuisine students to come to life when creating a chef's table revolving around a 1920s housewife writing letters to her absent husband, whose whereabouts are unknown. In addition to design materials, the design team sealed the letters containing the invitations and hand-written letters with liquid wax. The finished components of the project helped the Plant Based Cuisine students create a successful chef's table.
