Happy Hour at Vert & Vogue with Cheetie Kumar
Happy Hour at Vert & Vogue with Cheetie Kumar
Please join us for Happy Hour at Vert & Vogue, as part of Third Friday Durham. This month, V&V is excited to host the aptly named "rockstar chef", Cheetie Kumar! A musician, chef, and multiple business owner, Cheetie thoughtfully combines memory, instinct, and a dose of imaginative rebellion in all that she does. Come out and join us as we learn how Cheetie brings her past, the roots she's laid in the South, and her artistic spirit to the stage, the kitchen, and the community she calls home. As always, tickets are free and drinks are on the house!
ABOUT CHEETIE
Chef and owner of Garland restaurant in Raleigh, Cheetie Kumar also plays guitar in her band Birds of Avalon. The James Beard-nominated chef is known for a sharp sense of layering intricate spices with seasonal ingredients, often pulling from the memories of her Indian-American childhood and coming of age in Raleigh as a musician and cook. Along with her bandmate and husband, Paul Siler, she runs the music club Kings and bar Neptunes. Most recently, Cheetie joined a group of South Asian chefs for the Brown in the South dinner series, sponsored by Southern Foodways Alliance. They host collaborative dinners and events throughout the American South to celebrate their food while having conversations about identity and belonging. Journalist, food writer, and filmmaker Victoria Bouloubasis sat down with Cheetie Kumar to talk all things memory, food, and rock and roll. Read more here!
