Join Southern chef and Asheville native Annie Pettry for a four-course dinner celebrating locally sourced ingredients. She's playing on the theme of remixing and sampling songs in hip-hop -- similarly, she'll rework ingredients throughout the meal. Vinyl pairings will be spun by DJ Isaac G.

A portion of the evening's proceeds benefit SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective.
