As Chef Chip Dunham puts it, “a country brasserie can be defined as an informal restaurant where creative and rustic dishes from countries around the world are served—all while staying loyal to our French technique, using seasonal and local ingredients where it makes sense.” The menu will also be strongly influenced by Chip’s experience in southern kitchens. With a large brick patio, 17 seats at the bar and 49 seats in the dining room, Magnolia & May will offer a smaller, more casual setting. The wine, beer and cocktail menus will be created and overseen by Amanda Dunham. Her palate, creativity and experience will culminate in a diverse selection of libations for guests to enjoy. Amanda will also oversee a pithy and smart service staff
