Paul’s Kitchen and Cullen-ary Company, Team Cullen, Beach Time Distilling and George’s Mixes recently partnered to raise funds for the Milton Historical Society.
Cullen, former bass player for the rock band Bad Company, personal chef, sommelier, and founder of Paul’s Kitchen, wanted to give back to the community and has turned his Sunday pop-up market into a weekly event which has raised $2,500 for the historical society.
Nina Peery, Cullen’s right hand and personal assistant, introduced him to Mary Knight, who was director of Milton Historical Society at the time. They brainstormed on a way they could collaborate and raise both funds and awareness for the society, and they created Bloody Mary Sundays at Paul’s Sunday Market.
Cullen partnered with Mary Ann and Greg Christmas of Beach Time Distilling, and Greg David of George’s Mixes for Bloody Mary Sunday events which will take place every Sunday at Paul’s Kitchen and Cullen-ary Company, 32882 Cedar Grove Road, Lewes. Cullen himself can be found occasionally performing at the market as well as some of the area’s top performers like Vincent Varrassi, Jeff Evans, Al Frantic, David Amand, Bruce Anthony, Robert LaBlanc and many others.
A typical Sunday will find Chef Roberto Forgione manning the grill featuring Cullen’s handcrafted Italian sausage sandwiches, Sahlen’s hot dogs from Buffalo, N.Y., and breakfast sandwiches. Patrons can also buy items to go to create their own Domenica Sera dinner.
The market also showcases various local artisans, and shoppers might meet some special guests from the Nuevo Mundo Alpaca farm in Selbyville. Guests can enjoy a Bloody Mary, mimosa, or a glass of Cullen’s own Rosso di Toscana Wine, with proceeds from the first drink going to support the Milton Historical Society.
“I met Mary and her enthusiasm for the community persuaded me to work with her to raise funds and help promote the historical society,” said Cullen. “Come eat, drink, and enjoy music in our new indoor space for the winter months, and pick up an Italian gift basket to spread the love this holiday season.”
The pop-up market is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sundays year-round with special holiday shopping hours of 12 to 4 p.m. added on Saturdays in December.
