Inspiring evening at the Angus Barn

This past weekend, I had an awesome evening at the Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC where I spent 3 hours in the wine cellar kitchen with chef Walter Royal and his crew. They put on a most fabulous dinner of ribs, filet, tuna + seaweed salad, fried chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, salad greens with raspberry and hot / sweet pepper jelly and so much more. Together paired with wine, this was an absolute feast.

The best part about this evening was the hands on activity in the kitchen. I was privileged to stand and grill side by side with wine cellar chef Jimmy Alfano and taught first hand how to cut and disjoint a whole chicken by Chef Royal. Not only did I leave inspired, but I left stuffed full of southern goodness.
