The dinner will feature seafood dishes from Black chefs across the state, allowing them to tell their stories through food while using ingredients from local farmers.

“It's rare that Black chefs get to collaborate with each other as much as we have in the past five years,” Chef Greg Collier said. “Following up after the BayHaven Food & Wine Festival last year, we wanted to do more personal smaller dinners this year. These are some of the most talented chefs in North Carolina cooking at one time.”
