The evening concludes with specialty drinks in the courtyard.

October 21, 2017
Join Chef Jamie Dement at The Regulator Bookstore in Durham, NC on October 21st at 3:00pm for a book signing. Chef Jamie will be in attendance signing copies of her book, The Farmhouse Chef.
About The Regulator Bookstore
A small and perhaps improbable bookstore opens its door for the first time on a cold Saturday morning. It is early in December, 1976. There's a vague memory of snow flurries in the air.
We set things up so that our first customer that morning was Agnes Birkhead, the grandmother of one of the store's founding lights. Agnes had been the court stenographer at the Scopes "monkey" trial and gone on to be Sinclair Lewis's personal assistant. Agnes Birkhead was a touchstone for us, a connection to a strong American tradition of truth-seeking and independent thinking. We hope that, 30 years on, our actions continue to honor her memory.
