With a nod to a traditional North Carolina pig pickin’, Piedmont’s Chef Greg Gettles welcomes Chef John May – currently Executive Chef at The Boot, and former Chef de Cuisine at Chef & The Farmer – to celebrate sustainable seafood in a true NC way, with a late spring barbecue. Two 20-pound cobia will be roasted and served whole, and dressed and “chopped” to order, tableside. The whole roasted fish and sides will be preceded by several courses of sustainable NC seafood, imagined through the lens of barbecue.

As a longtime supporter of small, North Carolina growers, Piedmont has been equally committed to being a good steward of the sea. Relationships with LOCALS SEAFOOD have enabled Piedmont to share fresh-caught fish from North Carolina’s coast throughout the year, and to be advocates for a robust North Carolina seafood economy. A percentage of every ticket purchased will fund North Carolina Catch. “Fresh seasonal seafood from our coast is top notch. NC Catch couldn’t be more pleased that Piedmont is presenting a special taste of the best that North Carolina has to offer,” explained NC Catch President Jimmy Johnson.
