Blind Pig Dinner –  Location TBD the day of the event Proceeds Benefit the Jamie Kirk Hahn Foundation.

Three years ago in a 100 year old Appalachian dairy barn and in the dead of a January winter, two chefs set out to create a masterpiece Japanese dinner which was called The Rising Sun.  Twelve courses of traditional and innovative Japanese cuisine are represented.  The dinner went down in our history books as one of the most successful and influential dinners in Asheville.  Today, these chefs, Drew Maykuth and Brian Canipelli, will reunite again with a host of chefs from across this great state to bring the magic of the Rising Sun to Raleigh for the first time.  A grand dinner for a great cause.

Jason Smith, 18 Restaurant Group – 18 Seaboard, Cantina 18 & Harvest 18

Scott Crawford, Standard Foods

Kyle McKnight, Highland Avenue

Brian Canipelli, Cucina 24

Drew Maykuth, Stanbury
