I try not to be too sweet on A Southern Season, but what can I say. The shop was literally one of the reasons my husband and I thought we could happily transition from Brooklyn to Chapel Hill. I might not be able to walk to Sahadi’s on Atlantic Avenue anymore, but I could find a wall of their good stuff at Southern Season, along with plenty of other obscure cheeses, miscellaneous house gadgets and specialty wines. Phew!
I’m psyched to see a deeper effort from Southern Season to engage in the great things happening in the community. Just learned about a super cool foodie event that takes place Sunday, September 18th to benefit Girls on the Run. From 7pm – 9pm this Sunday, Southern Season will essentially host a shopping party to benefit this nonprofit that is all about building confidence in young women. Local food + local chefs + local good causes = Happiness.
Heavy samples of wine and modern Southern treats like Shrimp and Grits, biscuits, stuffed okra, exquisite LOCAL Mangalitsa and more will be shared while shoppers browse. Add Nancie MacDermott, who will be signing her cookbook and a pie crust making demo from the Southern Season staff and you’ve got yourself a great reason to leave the house on a dull Sunday night. PLUS 10% of all sales that evening will be donated back to Girls on the Run. Wonderful! All for a very reasonable $30 admission fee, available in advance (click here to purchase) or at the door. I finally get the chance to snack my way towards making Chapel Hill a better place to live.
