he Root Cellar’s Sera Cuni and Susan White have strong ties to the county. Sera has lived here since 2003 when she purchased a home in historic downtown Pittsboro. Susan was born in the old Chatham Hospital and graduated from Jordan-Matthews High School before leaving for college in 1986. In 2009, the now-married couple moved into a home in the Powell Place community together. They own The Root Cellar in Chapel Hill and are opening a second branch of their beloved
farm-to-table restaurant in Chatham Park. We chatted with the couple about their ties to the county, what it means to plant business roots here and how they envision Chatham’s future. – Laura Zolman Kirk
