The owner and chef at Scratch Bakery in Durham opened The Lakewood, a full-service bar and restaurant in Durham last year. Baby Scratch is also located here. Throughout her career, Phoebe has been committed to the promotion of sustainable food systems, and the benefits of being connected to the foods we eat. She has been an active member of the Southern Foodways Alliance, Chefs Collaborative, and SlowFood USA, and is former co-chair of the Slow Food Triangle chapter.

  Prior to launching Fullsteam in 2010, Sean founded and led both Pop The Cap NC and Permit Beer, two beer lobbying organizations that opened up economic markets to North Carolina’s craft beer industry. He’s earned three James Beard Foundation semi-finalist honors in the Outstanding Wine, Spirits, or Beer Professional category, and he’s a national leader in setting the craft beer legislative agenda.
