Charlie Deal
Owner of Jujube and Dos Perros
Charlie Deal is the chef and owner of Jujube of Chapel Hill and Dos Perros of Durham and, this summer, is opening Juju here in Durham. He’s been cooking as long as he can remember and opened his first restaurant, “Smilin’ Chucker’s Country Kitchen”, out of his apartment in Berkeley when he was 19 years old. People like the wine descriptions he writes for his menus because he uses words like slutty in them, and because all the cool kids have them, he’s got chickens too.
