Tony McGee, Executive Director of StokesCORE, a nonprofit rural economic organization, gave me another ten pounds of purple sweet potatoes grown by the fine farmers of Stokes County. These potatoes are headed for Southern Lights Bistro, so chef John Drees and Adrian Harris stay well stocked in advance of DATS MashUp. Tony has been a huge ally in making DATS MashUp a reality.
John is interested in the cooking properties of the potato. As a matter of fact, when I mention that Wurood had made a hash-like dish using the Stokes Purple and Iraqi spices, he was interested because Southern Lights has had a hash dish, too. Maybe there's a chance Wurood's dish might make it into the menu!
Can't wait to taste the amazing dishes prepared with these very powerful and tasty purples! Thanks Tony for all you do inside and outside Stokes County.
