Taste of Durham

Noted chef Joseph Aigner will be among the twenty-one chefs, caterers, and  wine & spirits purveyors who will provide tastings at the 18h Annual Taste of Durham February 1, from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m., at the Durham Public Library. Reservations at $35 each are limited and the event is always a sellout. Reservations are secured with a check and are made at the library.


The Public Association of Library Supporters PALS, the event sponsors, just learned that Aigner, chef at Brew Bakers in Middletown, was named one of the Best Chefs in America for 2013 & 2014. He is a continuing contributor to the Taste of Durham.


Longtime Durham contributors Cozy Corner Restaurant & Pizza, Durham Market and Caterers, Kim’s Cottage Confections, Lino’s Market and Caterers, Little Rooster (wine tasting), Perk on Main, Spice Catering, and Time Out Taverne are all returning. Returning from Middletown are Anoho Asian Noodle House, David Alan Catering, Cold Stone Creamery, Haveli of India, Tschudin Chocolates, and Sweet Harmony Cafe. Lyman Orchards Farm Market, from Middlefield, will again be offering their popular pies. New this year are caterer Kevin Smith and Durham Wine & Spirits (beer tasting), both of Durham, and Taino’s and Fiore’s II, both of Middletown.  Brenda’s Main St. Feed will return with her take-home pet treats.  Bruce Schmottlach and Deep Ellum will provide musical accompaniment for the evening.
