Item Description

Here is your invitation for two adults to enjoy front row seats to Matt and Ted Lee's only Charleston book event this year, a SOLD-OUT conversation with Julian Van Winkle of Old Rip Van Winkle Distilling at The Library Society on King Street on Tuesday, May 7th. Mr. Van Winkle is the president of the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery, whose aged bourbons are often believed to be the finest whiskeys on Earth.

The real treat of this item is the afterparty, a small private party hosted by Matt and Ted at a nearby home on Legare Street with Julian Van Winkle and Anne Cleveland, Library Society Executive Director, in attendance, following the "show."

Included is the Lee brother's new book, Hotbox, about their exploits in the world of New York catering.  Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Known for their modern take on Southern cooking, the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside-out.

Hotbox takes you from the frying pan into the fire. The cutthroat world of catered events comes to life in this compelling book by the Lee Brothers.”
