Chef & the Farmer owners Vivian Howard and Ben Knight are teaming up with Stephen Hill, a founder of Mother Earth Brewing, to open an oyster bar in Kinston.
"Everybody here loves an oyster bar," Vivian Howard explains.
They say it won't open until spring 2013. But the oystrer bar will be in an alley next to an old furniture store between their restaurant and Mother Earth Brewing in downtown Kinston.
They will serve steamed, fried and raw oysters, as well as an oyster burger (think po'boy). For the non-oyster eaters, they will have burgers on the menu.
The restaurant will have 30 to 40 seats and will be called The Boiler Room since the building's original boiler is still in the space.
