Set in the Foundry Hotel, Benne on Eagle will be helmed by James Beard-nominated chef John Fleer (current chef-owner of Rhubarb and The Rhu cafe/bakery) and Chef de Cuisine Ashleigh Shanti. Benne on Eagle nods to the foundry’s workaday history as well as the neighborhood’s soul food tradition with dishes like potlikker-braised chicken wings with chow-chow, crowder pea salad, and crispy quail with hot water cornbread.
