Empire Eats Menu from Raleigh Anthony Bourdain Show

Here's the menu from Empire Eats. I received this prior to the event. I think it's an accurate representation of what they actually served. The roasted pig was great, as were the short ribs. The local cheese was a surprise for me. I had no idea Chapel Hill was producing such great cheese. I wish I had tried everything!
