The CollaBREADtive program was a three-year series pairing Companion with some of St. Louis’s leading chefs. Each year, eight chefs were chosen to work alongside Josh Allen, owner of Companion, to create custom breads, which the chefs then used in special menu items featured in their restaurants. The program was a creative way of bringing bread to the forefront of the dining experience while helping support local, independent restaurants. Check out some of the great recipes and highlights from the three seasons of CollaBREADtive!
