Chef & Makers Series

North Carolina is home to a distinctive community of culinarians and artisans. For three weekends in 2018 (May 4-6, July 13-15, and September 14-16), chefs and artisans from all corners of the state (and one from beyond) will roadtrip to Pinehurst Resort for a celebration of North Carolina’s food and craft traditions. Each weekend, attendees will have the chance to enjoy meals prepared and inspired by the featured chef and participate in discussions and demonstrations with the visiting maker.

On July 13-15, chef Dean Neff of Pinpoint in Wilmington will be joined by Jael and Dan Rattigan of French Broad Chocolates in Asheville. The weekend will include an afternoon cooking demonstration and coastal dinner by Neff and a chocolate tasting with the Rattigans that will emphasize the origins of cacao and the chocolate making process.
