Food and folklore for those hungering after Hurston

In Eatonville the town (outside of Orlando, population 2,400), there are porches where stories are spun, so naturally there must be a 'porch' in Eatonville the restaurant (just off V Street NW, 250 seats) where visitors from the town might sit a spell with customers.

'This is a first,' says N.Y. Nathiri, pleasantly stunned to see this trendy urban take on her rural home town. She rocks her green wooden chair on the rough wooden boards of the porch that's tucked beside the swanky dining area of the Washington restaurant.

I learned this a few months ago from Jonathan Bean, when we were discussing a piece that he co-wrote for NRODT on Booker T. Washington.
