Dinner starts at 6:00pm.
Join us as we welcome author and fried chicken expert John T Edge of the University of Mississippi for an evening of fried chicken, fried chicken lore and wines from Garretson Winery in Paso Robles. Three courses of crispy fried chicken: three styles, three flavors, and three wines including Garretson's new Cornbread Nation Cuvee White and Red. John T will regale us with fried chicken facts and show two short films about venerable fried chicken restaurants in the south. A portion of the proceeds goes to The Southern Foodways Alliance.
