A Tale of Two Historic Dinners

Kevin Mitchell, chef and scholar of southern foodways discusses history as told through his food in two historic meals presented in Charleston. Chef Mitchell will revisit the cooks, the ingredients and the inspiration for the Nat Fuller and the Drayton Hall Tribute dinners.

A remarkable conversation regarding one chef's journey with Charleston history is planned.
