G&G and Friends Dinner Party

G&G and Wilmington, NC and Beaches brought a sea-to-table dining experience at The Salt Line restaurant in Washington, D.C.. Wilmington-based chef and oysterman James Doss of Rx Chicken & Oysters teamed up with chef Kyle Bailey of The Salt Line to craft a menu of innovative Southern cuisine. Featuring fresh seafood dishes sustainably harvested and caught within one hundred miles of Wilmington, North Carolina’s shores, the evening offered guests a true taste of North Carolina’s coastal bounty.
