ASHEBORO – Food writer and North Carolina Weekend commentator Bob Garner will
talk about his adventures as a passionate ambassador for Southern food
traditions at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 20, at the Sunset Theatre in downtown
Asheboro.
Garner’s
appearance is free and the public is invited.
It
is sponsored by the Randolph County Public Library’s Margaret C. Taylor
Memorial Culinary Arts Collection, and by the City of Asheboro, the Heart of
North Carolina Visitors Bureau and the Friends of the Library.
Known
for his signature yummy noise, “Mmm-mmm!” as restaurants get his stamp of
approval on North Carolina Weekend, Garner is author of four books and
“Bob Garner Eats,” a 10-part series for Our State magazine.
He
also has appeared on national television shows such as Good Morning America,
Paula’s Home Cooking with Paula Deen, FoodNation with Bobby Flay,
and the Travel Channel’s Road Trip.
His
most recent book is Foods that Make You Say Mmm-mmm, which highlights
North Carolina’s most unique and best-loved dishes.
He’s
also a barbecue expert and pit-master, and serves as the “Minister of Barbecue
Culture” at The Pit Authentic Barbecue restaurant in Raleigh. He resides in
Greenville, N.C.
The
Margaret C. Taylor Memorial Culinary Arts Collection was established from the
estate of Margaret Cashatt Taylor, a Randleman area native who passed away in
2015 in Dearborn, Mich. She bequeathed to the library her collection of cooking
and other culinary books, and provided a fund to enhance the collection with
future book purchases and related programs.
The Sunset Theatre is located at 234 Sunset Avenue in Asheboro. For further
