What's Going On in Raleigh?

There's always something fun to do in the Triangle! Here are a few events coming up over the next few weeks.

June 15

Craft Epic Sushi With Chef Jenny

If you’ve ever watched a sushi chef at work and thought, “I wish I could do that,” this class might just be your dream evening. Led by the talented Chef Jenny, this hands-on workshop turns sushi-making into an art form you can master. From learning how to season rice just right to the satisfying moment you roll your first California or veggie roll using a bamboo mat, the experience is as much about the process as it is about the flavors. And the best part? You get to eat your beautiful creations right after — dipped in savory sauces and perhaps paired with a crisp glass of wine or cold beer from the venue.
