People from across eastern North Carolina are flocking to a former mule stable for fine dining.
At the Chef & The Farmer restaurant in Kinston‚ chef/owner Vivian Howard and partner‚ Benjamin Knight‚ serve artfully presented regional cuisine using fresh ingredients provided by local farmers.
The menu includes items such as truffled asparagus potato skins‚ espresso crusted hanger steak‚ ricotta cheesecake and homemade ice creams.
Chef & The Farmer guarantees fresh ness by preparing seasonal foods provided by local producers‚ including fresh produce from Kinston’s farmer’s market and beef and chicken from nearby farms.
“We change our menu according to what’s available locally‚” says Howard. “It’s fresher‚ and the flavor is so much better. And buying locally is a great way to support the local economy.”
The old mule barn is now as dazzlingly modern as the dishes‚ with black walls‚ exposed ceilings‚ a sleek bar and open kitchen.
