Downtown Greensboro has become quite the place to meet up for food, spirits, coffee, and fellowship. From the little New York style pizza shop just up the street* to Cille and Scot (above), restaurants have been busy over the holiday season. The parades and Festival of Lights do a great job of bring people to the area from Tanger Center to Gate City. On the day of the Holiday Parade, the above Santa-hatted friends gathered at Calle & Scoe for a mid-day meal.
Cille and Scoe in downtown Greensboro opened on October 15, 2021. It is named for the grandparents of Chef Sean Reaves who owns the restaurant with his wife Tara. Cille and Scoe (Lucille and Roscoe) gave Sean a farm-to-table upbringing that he experienced with them. Most of the food at the restaurant is sourced from North Carolina; as Sean and Tara remind us, not to be trendy, but to use what the earth around us is providing in a given season. Sean loves reinterpreting his grandmother's recipes, melding that good, old-fashioned flavor with a new presentation. Read more in the article from Our State magazine (here). From the wall murals to the plating of the food, the Reaves have put so much thought behind every detail of their restaurant, it is easy to see how it has thrived over the last three years. It is easy to see why all of Santa's helpers stopped by that day.
It is the last weekend before Christmas, a time of year when we speed up so we can find time to slow down. Hopefully, we can all find time for holiday joy not only in our homes, but also in some local eateries.
Happy Friday!
