Why “The Passion”? We are deeply passionate about the seafood supplied by our dedicated fishermen and fisherwomen, as well as the fresh produce from our farmers and the quality beef from our ranchers. They are our Food Heroes, and we are truly fortunate to have access to the amazing bounty provided by the NC coast, regarded as some of the best in the country!
Each evening, three talented NC chefs will take over The Hackney kitchen to craft an exceptional 4-course dinner, showcasing the finest NC seafood and produce sourced from our dedicated NC Supplier Food Heroes. Whenever possible, these heroes will be present to share insights and educate attendees about the featured seafood. These events offer a unique opportunity to connect with both the chefs and suppliers.
Each dinner will feature pre-dinner canapés and the option to pair each course expertly with exquisite wines selected to enhance the flavors of the dishes.
The series takes place at The Hackney, housed in a beautifully restored former bank building. The Hackney is the home of 2024 James Beard finalist for Best Chef Southeast, Chef Jamie Davis, providing a stunning setting for this unique culinary event.
Some proceeds from each night will be donated to our charity partners, NC Catch and The James Beard Foundation
