Spectrum News 1: Gourmet french fry bar expands to Durham:

“Owners, Johanna and James Windon are cutting the ribbon to their second location in the food court at the Streets at Southpoint Mall in Durham. The opening comes less than a year after their first location opened at the Morgan Street Food Hall in Raleigh in September 2021.

The idea behind the french fry bar came during the COVID-19 pandemic while cooking their favorite Colombian dish, bandeja paisa. “We are bringing a little taste of Colombia to North Carolina," Johanna Windon said. The gourmet french fry bar has grown to include a signature menu, paying homage to different cultures.”
