TUESDAY, AUGUST 23 | 7 pm-8:30 pm | BUSY BEE CAFE

Downtown Restaurant Week is the perfect time for you to meet Busy Bee Cafe's new chef, David Mitchell. Chef Mitchell is a graduate of Johnson & Wales and has worked at NOFO and for the Urban Food Group.

You're invited to meet him on Tuesday, August 23 at 7 pm and talk with him about his vision for the Bee's menu. You also can sample a few items from the revamped menu, which will debut in mid-September, and give him your feedback.

The event will take place on the mezzanine inside the restaurant.

And because it's Downtown Restaurant Week, triangle.com will provide three lucky attendees with a $20 gift card to Busy Bee.

Also as part of the event, the Busy Bee will have samples of its new homebrew collaboration with John Federal. The Rye Saison with rosemary is a part of the Bee's monthly Homebrewer Highlight.

We hope you will join us, but space for this meet-and-greet event is limited, so please register here.
