Enjoy a sweet peek into American history

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!

Two courses, one unforgettable evening

Dessert Demo | 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Pull up a seat and watch history come to life in this one-hour baking demonstration. Bennett will recreate a historic dessert from scratch, right in front of you, and share what its ingredients and methods reveal about the people and the times behind it. This experience is limited to 25 seats.
