The Big Jones Cookbook, the long-awaited southern-food cookbook from chef Paul Fehribach, hits the streets on April 22, and to mark the occasion Big Jones is throwing a pair of events that feature recipes from the book: a prix fixe family supper from 6 to 8 PM ($45), followed by a cake-and-cocktails event from 8 to 10 PM ($25). For more info, go here. Last summer I did a long interview with Fehribach about his cookbook; read it here and here.
