Currently a writer at large at the New York Times, Mr. Bruni was formerly the newspaper's restaurant critic and Rome bureau chief. The family-style lunch will include fall delicacies like chestnuts, Nassawadox oysters, persimmons, acorn-fed pork and sweet white shrimp from the Pamlico Sound.

Following lunch, Mr. Bruni will give a talk at 4pm in Carroll Hall on the UNC Campus entitled "Extraordinary Journalistic Adventure" and do a book signing.
