Soulful Chefs: What Feeds Us

This is a super-secret event, so if you sign up, organizers will send the address of its farmhouse location. If that detail isn’t enticing enough, maybe the list of local chefs will help: Phoebe Lawless, Ryan McGuire, Sophia Woo, Matthew Krenz, and Kim Hunter all have a hand in preparing the meal. There’s no official website for this intimate pop-up, but you can find out more by searching the event name on Eventbrite and Facebook.

Location TBA, Durham

Boulted Bread Pop-Up

Sometimes the expanse between Raleigh and Durham feels infinite; luckily, the occasional pop-up bridges the distance. This week, The Durham Hotel’s Sweet + Salt series brings a selection of Boulted Bread’s seasonal croissants and pastries to the Bull City. Next up: carbohydrate offerings from Bonjour Y’all in Davidson.
