About Us
A Letter from Chef and co-owner, Mary Long:
I moved to Wilmington in August of 2007 and immediately began searching for a location to open a new restaurant. I felt that Wilmington needed a dose of good Southern cuisine, and I feel passionately that people need to respect the Southern traditions of cooking as its own cuisine and not just a cute way of eating fried chicken. Our history is as old as our country, and carries with it a great agricultural tradition, with many fresh vegetables and fruits thriving in our climate and used extensively in cooking and canning for the cold months.
Our culture blends African, French, English, Native American, and creative new ways of cooking into one mish-mash of delicious traditions. I
