Cookin’ with Congress: An Evening with Bennett Rea


Join us for an evening with Bennett Rea, the home chef and political nerd behind the viral series Cookin’ with Congress, for an evening where American history meets the kitchen.
Since 2018, Bennett has been tracking down and recreating the recipes of presidents, politicians, and other famous figures. His dishes range from the delicious to the downright disgusting, and he shares the stories behind each one with a healthy serving of humor.
Now, he’s bringing the show to the Queen City!
Hands-On Dessert Workshop | 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Roll up your sleeves and cook alongside Bennett in this one-hour, interactive workshop. You’ll recreate a historic recipe from scratch and learn what it reveals about the people and the times behind it. This experience is limited to 25 seats.
