Ten years. Countless fires lit. And now, we look ahead to our most exciting chapter yet!

Coinciding with our tenth anniversary this summer, we’re thrilled to introduce our new Executive Chef, Matt Bounous, as the next culinary creative force behind our evolving menu. Matt has been getting settled in our kitchen for the last few months, but now it's time for the official debut—and we can't think of a better way to introduce you than through the plate.

Join us for Fire Keepers, a special prix-fixe dinner series with Chef Matt in our intimate second-floor private dining room, running Thursday, August 21 through Sunday, August 24. Book your spot here: https://resy.com/cities/durham-nc/venues/death-and-taxes/events/fire-keepers-2025-08-22?seats=2&date=2025-08-15

This is an experience you won't want to miss—a celebration of where we've been and an exciting preview of where we're headed.

Please note: Our main dining room will be closed for regular service from Monday, August 18 through Sunday, August 24, as we tend to some much deserved restoration projects (the beautiful price of ten years of memorable meals and celebrations!).

We love a classic, but we love an inspired deviation even more.

This dish - spinach, buried garlic cream, crispy chickpeas - is a stunning reboot of familiar flavors. The move? Pairing it with a center cut filet.
