[BlogTogether] The Long Table dinner at 3CUPS Sept 20

[Anton Zuiker]

Friends,

Erin and I write to invite you to the inaugural event of The Long
Table, an initiative to promote good food, good place and good
conversation.

Throughout the years, our experiences at family holiday meals, Vanuatu
village "kakais", restaurant farmers dinners and impromptu tea parties
have fostered in us both a strong desire to gather with friends, enjoy
a good meal and engage in long, leisurely conversation. It's in the
sharing of food and stories and place that the bonds of family and
community grow strongest, we have learned.

Our new home in Carrboro will be one place for us to set a Long Table
to share a meal with you. We also want to encourage the Long Table
lifestyle locally and nationally -- we'll support locavore events,
plan a few of our own, blog about regional sustainable agriculture and
plug into national organizations with similar missions.

We're kicking off this initiative on Sat, Sept 20 from 5pm-8pm at
3CUPS in Chapel Hill. Hich Elbetri, chef-owner of Sandwhich, and his
mother, Naima Elbetri will prepare an authentic Moroccan meal, Badi
Bradley of 3CUPS will choose the wine, and Erin and I will get the
conversation started with a story or two. Tickets are $35 per person.
Reserve your space by emailing or calling Anton (numbers below).

We do hope you'll be able to join us for this meal.

Read about the inspiration for The Long Table at
http://mistersugar.com/article/4559/the-long-table. The food blogging
event with Michael Ruhlman at Piedmont two years ago was another
precursor. Twitter updates will be posted to @thelongtable.

And speaking of storytelling, The Monti is a Triangle-based
storytelling initiative. Don't miss its season opener on Sept 19th.
