Whenever we (the crew) are in Winston-Salem, we make sure we are eating, sleeping, spending at, and connecting with local restaurants and businesses, especially those with connections to our film’s story. We are the artists being fed, but we are also here to support the arts in the environment we enter. That’s the “process” in “process is product.”

Mojitos Latin Soul Food
Mojoto Latin Soul Food came from Michael and Michell’s dream and grew out of their partnership with Mary, allowing Mary’s Gourmet Diner to transform into their vision. Want to lose your mind, in the good way? Go eat chef Michael’s Cuban fusion fare everyday. We would if we could.

La Botana
Mary’s cooking may be your comfort food, but La Botano is Mary’s. Authentic Mexican fare made with love, July and Rigo Herrera Velasqez create mouth-watering dishes with experimental flare, while running a true Mom and Pop spot. If you want to forget your name, (like co-director Cat did), take a bite out of any of their offerings. Like us, whenever you can!

Di Lisio
Di Lisio Italian Restaurant lives in original building of Mary’s diner. Back then it was called Mary’s of Course! It feels incredibly special to have a great relationship with this rockin Italian restaurant that has created their own magic in a place with such a magical past.
