Our Best Bites by Sarah Arneson and Briana Brough Back for its fourth year, the Grand TASTE Experience at the Durham Armory delighted attendees with sips and savors from the area’s best restaurants, bars and artisans. Chefs from Saladelia, M Sushi, Oval Park Grille and many other restaurants offered samples. Beverage purveyors such as Constellation Brands, Harris Beverages, Alley Twenty Six and Durham Distillery, among others, served beer, wine and spirits while Sidecar Social Club provided the soundtrack. Two days later, during round No. 2 of our Grand TASTE Experience, guests enjoyed more great bites at the Durham Armory from more than 30 regional chefs, artisans, distilleries and beverage purveyors, plus music from Counterclockwise String Band. A portion of the proceeds from these events and the seven events featured on the next few pages, benefited the East Durham Children’s Initiative, an organization that strives to create a pipeline of high quality service from birth through high school. 12
