A group of Durham's top chefs will join forces to raise money for hospitality and restaurant workers who have been affected by Hurricane Helene.
Why it matters: The economy of Western North Carolina, especially Asheville, depends on tourism. With recovery efforts likely to take weeks, many restaurant and hospitality workers will be out of work.
Driving the news: In response, a group of prominent restaurants will host a fundraiser dinner on Oct. 13 at The Durham Hotel to raise money for the Southern Smoke Foundation Emergency Relief Fund.
What to know: Tickets to the dinner will be $200, and there will also be an auction to raise money.
The event will start at 6:30pm on Oct. 13 and feature cocktails from Alley Twenty-Six and desserts from Rose's Noodles, Dumplings and Sweets and The Parlour.
