​
                For the past eleven years Empty Bowls New Bern has worked to enrich our community through their annual signature event. Five years ago they added the January Potter’s Throwdown in January to showcase the craftspeople who create the unique objects, and the Souper Bowl to highlight local schools’ culinary programs. This year the committee is proud to announce a unique follow-up event, “Second Serving,” an opportunity to celebrate the unique offerings of New Bern while fulfilling the mission of fighting hunger and supporting the arts. Food for the event will feature tapas style small plates catered by six different restaurants, followed by a live and silent auction. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on an in-house meal catered by a local chef. The chefs will provide a sample menu which can be tailored to the winners’ tastes, to be served in their home at a time and date agreed on by the chef and winner. The event will also feature a silent auction of beautiful handmade items and local experiences donated by local business, artists, and patrons.
