Bite of Bénin is a fully immersive culinary experience by North Carolina’s Chef of the Year, Adé Carrena. Join us this evening for a beautiful and heartfelt journey of food and film as we will be exploring the intersection between West African food and the cuisine of the U.S. South.
This unique dining experience will begin with the screening of Adé’s award winning documentary of the same name, followed by a Béninese hand washing ceremony in honor of the rich traditions of Chef Adé’s homeland. The dinner will consist of a 5-course themed tasting designed to encourage conversations around cultural reclamation and exchange. Each course will have a zero proof cocktail pairing and will be introduced by a short, locally recorded poetic prose crafting context around every dish.
