Bringing the art of the story back to the dinner table, Eatonville Restaurant is launching Food and Folklore, a new monthly series intertwining storytelling and fabulous food.  Food and Folklore is wrapped in the spirit of gifted storyteller and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston’s brand of hospitality – a generosity with food.

Hurston biographer Valerie Boyd kicks off the series this Friday. Boyd is the author of Wrapped In Rainbows: The Life of Zora Neale Hurston and is currently finishing her next book, Spirits in the Dark: The Untold Story of Black Women in Hollywood.

Each Food and Folklore event will feature a special prix fixe menu prepared by Eatonville’s executive chef Rusty Holman. After the main entrée, the evening winds down with dessert and informal and lively conversation with a special guest.
