The Triangle has been touted as “One of America’s best food cities” and has quickly gained national acclaim for it’s thriving and expanding culinary scenes. It’s hard to keep up. It seems a new hot spot opens daily in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, and all over North Carolina. The once historic tobacco districts have turned into a new blend of cool culture and food discoveries rich in variety, tradition, creativity and access to fresh, prime ingredients.
Each Sunday, discover the journeys and back stories of our most talented chefs, rising stars, bakers, cooks, grill masters, brewers, farmers, herbalists, foragers, winemakers and everything in between. In Kitty’s “Sound Palate,” our favorite chefs pair signature dishes with a piece of music or bartenders pair a specialty cocktail with a tune – their inspirations become our Sunday soundtrack.
Don’t miss Kitty Kinnin’s Sound Palate every Sunday morning from 8am – 11am.
