Celebrate the Restoration of the Log Kitchen!
Join us at the Charlotte Museum of History on September 14 from 10 AM to 2 PM for the Carolina's Home Cooking event, marking the official reopening of the restored Log Kitchen. The event features a live cooking demonstration and book talk by renowned culinary historian Michael Twitty, as well as food samples following historic recipes using modern techniques, prepared by culinary students from Johnson & Wales University, and Barbeque from Bobbee O's BBQ. Come and explore the newly renovated kitchen while enjoying a day filled with rich culinary history and delicious flavors.
