Howdy Folks,
Since our announcement earlier this Fall, the team at The Gallery has been working hard to balance our mission to create a culinary-driven community space, featuring the best of our region, while offering meaningful work-life balance for our staff. To better serve both goals The Gallery is making a dramatic shift:
Donuts, and The Gallery as we know it, will be coming to an end. As we asked how to best serve our mission, we came to the unfortunate realization that donuts presented major limitations. But with this news, we have an exciting update.
Our Chef in Residence, Daniel Medina, will be assuming the use of the space under the banner and expanding his programming.
In this new direction expect more unique experiences and delicious foods than ever.
NorthFolk will continue to present its signature tasting menus on Friday and Saturday night.
Additionally, we can finally share a project we have been hoping to bring to life for some time: Noble Bird!
Noble Bird is an elevated take on fast casual featuring Chef Medina's take on Japanese fried chicken. We will be serving up more details and soft-open dates in the coming days.
For our donut lovers, there will be five final chances to enjoy The Gallery's offerings:
11/3; 5-8pm - First Friday Gallery Night featuring (limited menu)
11/4, 11, 18; 10am-4pm - Saturday Donuts
11/21; 3-7pm - Press Bay Holiday Food Market
We will have the new menu and preorders up later tonight - we are going out with some pretty special flavors.
As we approach the holiday season, we want to acknowledge the importance of family be it cognate or chosen. Through the Pop-ups, Gallery Nights, Festivals, Donut Saturdays, and even weddings we have made so many dear relationships with you, our community, that makes this announcement so bittersweet.
Thank you to everyone who has, and continues to, support our endeavors. It is the community that makes our space vibrant and your enthusiasm drives our team's passion to deliver the best experiences we can. We welcome everyone to join us as we bid farewell to The Gallery and support NorthFolk in its new evolution.
It has been a pleasure serving you.
