THE FOOD
Chef Juan DiGiulio’s culinary background reflects the bold traditions of the South, including Louisiana Cajun and Creole, Texas BBQ, Low Country Cuisine from the Carolinas, and a little kick from Mexico. Put all that together and you get Succotash Southern & Creole Kitchen!
The menu includes a mouth-watering selection of Southern & Creole favorites including Creole Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, and Jambalaya. One of our most popular dishes is the 12-Hour Smoked Brisket— so succulent and tasty you can cut it with a fork. We also offer a selection of Seafood PoBoys—shrimp, oyster, fried catfish, as well as Fried Seafood Plates. The Fresh Catch can be ordered grilled, blackened or pan-seared as both a PoBoy and a plate. We also serve the New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich. Sides include roasted brussels sprouts, grilled asparagus, smashed fried potatoes, fresh roasted broccoli, and of course our namesake succotash—a medley of roasted corn, tomatoes, lima and butter beans, peppers and spices.

FAMILY TRADITION
Succotash started out as a food truck in 2018 and converted to a Brick & Mortar restaurant in September 2022. But the real beginning of Succotash was in South Louisiana where Chef Juan DiGiulio was born and raised. Growing up where the love of food and celebration is legendary, he was exposed early on to the art of great cooking. His fondest memories are of crawfish boils, family gatherings, and time spent feasting at his family’s Italian restaurant. While the family restaurant sparked his inspiration, he continued to develop his skills working in restaurants in Baton Rouge, London, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He returned to Durham in 2007 where he has worked in some of Durham’s best-known establishments, including Nana’s, Vin Rouge, Piedmont, and Namu.
DiGiulio will tell you that making food is in his blood and that serving food is all about showing love. You are sure to appreciate his passionate approach to creating his unique Southern & Creole Cuisine
