Yesterday (March 8), while many of us were distracted by the Durham Food Truck Rodeo and Bull City Food & Beer Experience, 21c Museum Hotel Durham quietly opened its onsite restaurant Counting House.
Under the direction of executive chef Josh Munchel, who is from Cincinnati and formerly ran the hotel’s sister restaurant located there, Counting House offers a global perspective on regional dishes with a menu celebrating North Carolina’s rich heritage of fresh seafood, locally sourced seasonal ingredients and a strong emphasis on rotisserie and roasting techniques.
Entree items, including seared Carolina bass with roasted broccoli, cashew butter and lemon; rotisserie chicken with aji verde, red beans, avocado and lemon, and B&B brined pork with braised swiss chard, cornbread and croutons, highlight local seafood and meat and make use of the restaurant’s custom-built rotisserie visible in the open kitchen.
Counting House is located at 111 N. Corcoran Street in downtown Durham. View the full menu and mouth-watering pictures here. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially while it’s still brand new. There will be a ribbon cutting for the hotel on March 16.
