Ring in the New Year with Local Food and Tradition!

Enjoy some hoppin' john and collards on Sat., Jan. 1 at Slow Food Triangle's third annual Traditional Southern New Year’s Day: an event to celebrate regional culinary traditions, local farmers, and artisan food producers! The event is 4-7 pm at Durham's Fullsteam Brewery, and the meal will be served at 5 pm.

What's on the menu? Hoppin' john and collard greens of course, along with cornbread, fresh, hearth-baked loaves, sweet potato pie, and more (vegetarian options will be available).

Admission is $15 for Slow Food members, $18 for non-members, and free for children 10 and younger. Wine Authorities and 3 Cups will offer wine to purchase by the glass; Counter Culture Coffee will provide coffee; and the Fullsteam bar will be open for business. All wine sales will benefit the healthy snack program at Club Boulevard Elementary School in Durham.
To keep waste down, you're invited to bring your own plates. Volunteers are needed, so if you'd like to help out, email Mark at Slow Food Triangle. Tickets are for sale online now.
