Our Project
Tried and True is a show about artists interacting organically through food, music, art, and performance. Not just another cooking show, Tried and True focuses on bringing people together through the creation of their art. Creators/producers Trever Keith and Chad Yaro from the punk rock band Face to Face look to bring a fresh approach to the format by spotlighting artists, musicians, actors, etc from the underground world of outlaws, tattoos, hot rods, and rock n roll.
The Host

Hosted by acclaimed chef Nicolas Bour, executive chef at AVANT, Tried and True will be a show about Nic putting his own spin on his guest's favorite classic dishes. In the end, the guests decide whether our chef's creation stands up to their tried and true favorites.

We want you to join our efforts to create a pilot episode of Tried and True independent of the big production companies. We are asking for just enough to cover our production costs. We are offering you a chance to be involved on the ground floor of what we hope will go on to be a successful regular series. Here's how the money raised by your contributions will be put to use:
By taking part in this experiment you are making an impact the end result of this production. You are putting faith in us to come through and show you that we've learned a couple things over the years. With that in mind, we give you our word that we will not settle for “good enough” - we wont take any shortcuts, and above all – the money we raise in this thing will be reflected in the final product.
If you don't know what to think about this idea and aren't sure you can commit – there are other ways you can help out. Spread the word! Tell your family and friends and let them know what's going on. We don't expect everyone to jump on board, just let people know this is happening. With all the social networking and ways we now connect with one another, by posting links to this page you are reaching places we would never be able to reach.
