Friends of Christine Pre-Opening Specials

The Story

Many of us know the tremendous influence of a caring and loving grandmother. I would imagine many cultures worldwide experience the profound effects of her kitchen, but there is something special about a southern grandma! If you showed up full, too bad you better be hungry. If you were hungry, you best be prepared to be stuffed. Either way, you were going to eat!

Christine was my grandma, and she taught me to love unconditionally. She was beyond her years in welcoming everyone into her home and especially her kitchen. Christine relished a good conversation, and she especially loved hearing stories about you!

I make a point to share her recipes, approach to food, and inviting spirit with our team. Eagerly, I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to honor her legacy.

When I first entered The Old Albemarle Hotel, I knew immediately. This restaurant doesn’t represent her food, vibe, or anything specific. It does capture the essence of her soul…genuine, kind, and perfectly loving. The space is truly one of a kind like her!

Christine’s Wood Fire is an elevated local eatery celebrating you, each other, and for any reason. She loved making everyone feel special, and while indeed a tall order, that is our aspiration for you with every visit.

Cheers Friend,

Christine’s Grandson
