The Anti Brain Rot Book Club is BACK! We'll be meeting on Tuesday, November 10th at 7pm at the CARRBORO Fig. There is no required book for this club! Our meetings consist of general book chit-chat with folks looking to stay off the internet for about an hour. See you there!

Thank you to Chef Ricky Moore for a wonderful event in our Carrboro space earlier this week! We had a lovely time listening to Chef Moore and Dr. Hysmith discuss the second edition of Saltbox Seafood Joint Cookbook.

In case you missed it, we have a few signed copies of Chef Moore's cookbook available at both our Carrboro and Durham shops! Plus, if you swing by the Durham location you must stop by the actual Saltbox Seafood Joint restaurant, it's just a minute down the road from us!
