Tired of Working For The Man Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

Jared Burton was ready to call himself "boss." J. Lights Market & Cafe in Durham, NC next Highwire Brewing is going to unhinge your thoughts about what is a cafe and here's why;

J Lights is part bodega, part cocktail bar and part gourmet retail shop.
Opening during a pandemic.
They presume to offer "simple" food yet, Chef Carly Adelman is a badass and boasts a resume of working for the likes of Daniel Boulud, Scott Crawford and Ashley Christensen!
Ryan Grover the GM also knows a thing or two about running front of house.

Get ready Durham!

Oh disclaimer, we get slightly political and we are not apologizing.
