Wandering into the Cookery’s open house last week, I stumbled across a tasty display of baked goods.

Berenbaum’s, the sign said, and I soon found out from this little bakery stand’s owner, is usually set up somewhere near the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, though he may be taking up space on the same stretch of asphalt at the Cookery once in a while, too.

Zulayka Santiago, former owner/operator of the much loved and missed Liberacion Juice Station smoothie bus has turned over her keys to the youth of Durham.

Santiago, Elena Everett and several others are working hard to turn the bright green, winged juice dispensary into a grilled cheese bus.

Similar to the SEEDS model, youth from the community will be taught the skills necessary to run a food truck. According to Everett, they …

Chef Shirle was the cook for these relaxed dining events back then, but the cooking was transferred over to the Fiction Kitchen a few months ago.

The stars finally aligned this past weekend. The first thing I …
