Lucky Rice Grand Feast

Time to brush up on your chopstick skills! Asian food festival Lucky Rice, hosted by chef Paul Qui and Bombay Sapphire EAST Gin, returns to the Raleigh hotel pool for its seventh edition this weekend. A smattering of local restaurants, including Juvia, Katsuya, Sushisamba and Dragonfly Izakaya and Fish Market, will be cooking up all sorts of Asian dishes. There will be several bars serving drinks, but the star of the evening will be the Silk Journey, this year’s signature gin cocktail whose bold red color is inspired by traditional Asian culture.
