Description
You are invited to the 2nd iteration of a dinner series that highlights the Indigenous and African origins of what we now know as Southern food. Please join us for a 5-course tasting menu and discussion about food, history, resilience, and love. Our menu will reflect the past and future of North Carolina's landscape and will likely include nuts, pork products, wild foods, and wheat. This is a limited seating, invitation-only event designed to recalibrate the narrative around our beloved cuisine.
If there are folks who you think would enjoy this but who didn't receive an invitation, please have them contact one of us.
