Meet the new club Activity Committee Chairmen/Chairwomen

Chef Keith Rhodes will be our speaker at the March 21st BNC meeting. A southeast North Carolina Coast native, Chef Rhodes is the chef/owner of “Catch Modern Seafood” and “Phun Seafood Bar,” both located in Wilmington.  He strives to utilize the area’s natural food resources by working closely with numerous local farmers, purveyors, and fishermen to ensure he supports the local economy and its people.  He is adamant about presenting the local culture and flavors of SE North Carolina in combination with international twists in his cuisine. He credits his grandfather for his “farm to table” ideology. Chef Rhodes has won numerous awards and accolades locally in Wilmington as “Best Chef” and in several North Carolina Best dish awards.  In 2011, he was selected as a James Beard semi-finalist for “Best Chef of the Southeast.”  His crab cake was recently chosen the best at the Morehead City NC Seafood Festival. He is involved with many humanitarian projects in the schools and community. Chef will talk to us about his many activities locally, his manner of sponsoring the local slow food movement and his thoughts on eating good natural food grown in clean, safe conditions and produced under fair profits.
