The Bread
Bread 'N Board: culture and food
By KATHY PETERS
Staff Writer
Frenchman Jean Claude Lacroix has
been living in America for nearly two
decades now. but it's only in the last
2 Yz years that he has brought Durham
one of its most unique eating and
entertainment experiences.
Lacroix is the owner and manager
of The Bread and Board Cafe, where
the specialties include both nourish-.
ment and food for thought.
The Cafe is tucked away in its own
nook at 742 Ninth St. in Durham,
past Wellspring Grocery and Fields
Laundromat. The friendly little bistro
is about a 30-minute trip from Chapel
Hill, but the journey itself is a ride
way back to the 60s, back to folk
singers and tie-dye and easy-going
attitudes. And food, of course. It has
"food for the belly, and something
else." as Lacroix says.
The humble facade is something
you'd have to know about to notice.
A corkboard as full of notices and
cultural posters as the Student
Union's greets your eyes as you open
the door preceding the Cafe's cozy
room that probably could seat about
40 people on a good night
'N Board Cafe at 742 Ninth St. in
The Cafe is perhaps best known for
its Monday night readings, sponsored
by the N.C. Writers Network. The first
Monday of each month, two or three
writers perform their works and then
the audience participates in an open
reading. Wednesday nights, the
microphone is open. Anyone who
wants to have 45 minutes in the
spotlight signs up before 6:30 p.m.
on Wednesdays or calls the Cafe.
Open-mike nights attract mainly
singers, Lacroix says.
For those who would rather eat
than ham it up, the Cafe's menu is
posted on blackboards by the kitchen,
where Lacroix or one of his workers
stands in brightly colored patterned
caps taking lunch or dinner orders.
Although the Cafe is mainly a
sandwich shop, salads and stuffed
potatoes of all kinds aren't sparse on
the menu. The fare is inexpensive; all
sandwiches range from about $2.95
to $3.95. The Cafe also offers some
hard-to-find items, like brie on bread
or hot cider with cinnamon. And lots
ofmunchies.
The Cafe's most popular offerings
are avocado and cheese sandwiches
and soup, (except on Friday and
DTHCharlotte Cannon
Durham
Saturday nights, when beer is THE
beverage of choice).
The food is average, but the
atmosphere is a rarity. Fridays and
Saturdays. Lacroix hosts musicians of
all types rock, folk, calypso, the
blues. In the last year many groups
have made Bread and Board their
stage, including Yusuf and Brown,
Southern Culture on the Skids and
folk guitarist Gregory Paul, who sings
in nine languages, there is no cover
charge, but Lacroix asks for a dona
tion of $2 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Does the Cafe cater mainly to.
students? Not necessarily, Lacroix
says. During the day, working office
people. Duke students and local
residents make up most of his
clientele. Nighttime brings mostly
Duke students to the Cafe.
But no matter when one takes the
trip to the Bread and Board Cafe, its
laid-back atmosphere is enveloping.
When you're eating minestrone soup
and an avocado and cheese sandwich
with plastic utensils and enjoying it,
something's either incredibly wrong
or incredibly right Maybe it's the
calypso music that floats around
sometimes on Friday nights.
