Carolina Epicurean Thinks Guglhupf Takes the Cake

"First to arrive at our upstairs table was a basket of fantastic Guglhupf Bakery breads. The problem with this is that it pained me not to be able to eat all it all....How many restaurants do you know that have a dedicated Charcuterie Chef? And one that happens to be an A-B Tech Culinary graduate?!?... Take a few minutes to look around. Look at the details. Many architectural features like the handrail leading to the second floor are custom made."

Carolina Epicurean Enjoys Elodie Farms

"Just half an hour North of downtown Durham, feeling more like a million miles away, Elodie Farms sits on 27 picturesque acres...After touring the farm, I took a walk through the farm house. I loved the built-ins and colors, but especially loved the remodeled kitchen."

Southern Living Lauds Durham's Scratch

“I consider myself more of a baker than a pastry chef,” says Phoebe Lawless, owner and chef at Scratch Bakery in Durham, North Carolina. Having had my fair share of her desserts—her Shaker Lemon pie, fluffy buttermilk biscuits, and signature doughnut-muffins—I’d say this is not a qualitative statement, but an explanation of her approach, which she calls “pretty pragmatic,” and “homey and delicious rather than perfect and gorgeous.”

Center for the Future of Museums Spotlights Museum of Durham History

"The Museum of Durham History...is using pop-up events as a form of rapidproto-typing—a low cost, low risk way of trying out concepts, forging relationships with partner organizations, and building community engagement before the museum even opens"
