The Chef and the Farmer

Another dinner at The Chef and the Farmer in Kinston. Chef-owner Vivian Howard and husband Ben are featured in the PBS series, "A Chef's Life," which is expanding to an hour, nationwide, in the next season. This is a really special restaurant- casual in feel, not too expensive, with truly original dishes based on local ingredients. Photos from dinner below:
