A NIGHT TO SAVOR PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH AND SARAH ARNESON
We had a blast at our third annual Grand TASTE Experience at the Durham Armory. Chefs from Gocciolina, The Durham Hotel, the Washington Duke Inn, Piedmont, Mateo, blu seafood and many other restaurants offered samples, as did artisan food makers like Big Spoon Roasters, La Farm Bakery and Brood Soda. Plus, there was plenty of beer, wine and spirits, and it was all set to a live soundtrack thanks to the Mint Julep Jazz Band. A portion of the proceeds benefited the Durham branch of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, providing 25,000 meals to the community. DM
