SUSHI ME!
When you think of North Carolina, what food comes to mind? I instantly think vinegar-based barbeque; however, this blog has been awash with pit-smoked references lately. So, I turned to my friend Michelle, a fellow blogger and Foreign Service officer for a little help. She is getting her doctorate from UNC. She says the best sushi place ever is a little place called Akai Hana and just happens to be outside of Chapel Hill in Carrboro, NC. This next Call might end in a great sushi dinner if you play your cards right.
Check out this Call for Entries for the 2011-2012 Juried Exhibitions Series in Chapel Hill. There is no entry fee and only a 15% commission. Take a look!
