Succtotash: A Culinary Journey from Food Truck to Cultural Hub

In 2018, the culinary landscape of Durham, North Carolina, underwent a flavorful transformation with the birth of Succtotash. Founded by the dynamic trio of Chef Juan DiGiulio and his partners, Sam DiGiulio and Susan Head, Succtotash evolved from a humble food truck into a full-service restaurant. The driving force behind Succotash? A passion for diverse cuisines and the love for the art of cooking.


What began as a food truck concept was a unique blend of Mexican, Southern Louisiana, and Texas cuisines—a true celebration of culinary diversity. Chef Juan DiGiulio, with his culinary expertise, envisioned a space that not only satisfied the taste buds but also created an immersive experience for the community. Hence, the decision to establish Succtotash in Durham, a city celebrated for its cultural diversity and hailed as a foodie's paradise.


Beyond his culinary expertise, Chef Juan brings an additional layer of artistry to Succtotash. The walls of the restaurant are adorned with his vibrant paintings, creating an ambiance that merges visual and his food. The result is an inviting space that stimulates not just the appetite but also the senses.


Succtotash isn't merely a restaurant; it's a cultural hub pulsating with life. Every Saturday night, starting at 7 pm, the restaurant comes alive with music and dance, creating an atmosphere where patrons can savor both food and rhythm. Thursdays are equally lively, with comedy improv taking center stage on the first Thursday of each month at 7 pm. For jazz enthusiasts, the second Thursday offers a treat with jazz jam sessions kicking off at 7 pm.


Chef Juan DiGiulio and his partners have turned Succtotash into more than just a place to dine; it's a destination where culinary innovation, artistic expression, and cultural experiences mix. As Succtotash continues to carve its mark on Durham's culinary map, it stands as a testament to the power of passion and the boundless possibilities that unfold when diverse influences come together on a plate.


Succtotash isn't just a restaurant; it's a celebration of flavors, a symphony of culture, and an ever-evolving testament to the art of culinary creation.
