Food & Wine named this wood-burning pizzeria the best pizza in North Carolina

North Carolina is one of the sneaky best pizza states in the country, and one of the biggest food magazines just named our best pizzeria. The wood-fired pies from Mission Pizza Napoletana have been named the best pizzas in North Carolina by Food & Wine magazine. The famed Winston-Salem spot has a stack of national accolades, including a James Beard semifinalist nod for Best Chef: Southeast for owner Peyton Smith. While pizza is now and forever the star at Mission, Food & Wine notes that Smith makes much more than pies, including his popular “Pizzakase” dinners, a prix fixe meal of dishes. “His Pizzakase experience includes a multi-course pizza tasting menu that celebrates all things pizza (i.e., techniques, ingredients, preparations, etc.) around the world, while his à la carte menu changes frequently, always including wood-fired pizzas with an airy and chewy crust and thoughtfully sourced toppings,” Food & Wine wrote in a blurb. Mission Pizza opened in 2014 as Winston-Salem’s first Neapolitan style pizzeria. In the years since, Mission has collected worldwide acclaim, including the highest ranking of any pizzeria in the South (outside of Miami) in the Top 50 Pizza list, an international rating agency considered the top voice

Elkin residents showcase Chatham Mill style at Carolina Classic Fair

A grandmother and granddaughter duo showcased some unique fashion with a local twist at the Carolina Classic Fair earlier this month in Winston-Salem. Using textiles from sample blankets from the former Chatham Mill in Elkin, Eileen Kerr and her granddaughter Carolina Kerr, designed and modeled repurposed fashion garments, alongside sheep as part of the competitions at the regional fair. Eileen Kerr has been a student of the Yadkin Valley Fiber Center in Elkin for several years. Her most recent classes have been in rigid heddle weaving, indigo dyeing, and beginning and intermediate weaving. She is working on woven twill wraps. For the Carolina Classic competition, Kerr wore a jacket constructed of parts of antique wool blankets from the historic Chatham Textile Mill. Part of the jacket, the sleeves, were sewn of dense wool felt. Embellishments on her wool hat, handbag and her sheep’s wool scarf were made of wet felted wool roving. Carolina Kerr, a fifth grader at Elkin Elementary, modeled a raspberry-colored merino wool sweater. Her scarf, handbag, and her sheep’s scarf were designed and made by her. The base of each item was constructed of antique wool blankets from the Chatham Mill founded in 1877. Decorations on her
