"We love a potluck. Where else are you going to find an audience that’ll truly appreciate your new Julia Child phase? At Archestratus Books + Foods you’ll find other kitchen dwellers scouring through a huge collection of cookbooks while they eat sandwiches at the cafe in the back, as well as monthly Cookbook Club potlucks. This Thursday, all are welcome to celebrate Carla Lalli Music’s That Sounds So Good with recipes from the book or your own collection. Find potluck details and purchase tickets here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
