Fearrington has Easter Brunch
Thu, 04/09/2009 - 15:48 — caresteenFearrington Village is offering Easter brunch at the Old Granary Restaurant at a la carte prices, and also a 4 course Easter lunch at the Fearrington House at $65 per person (menus available on the website: www.fearrington.com). Fearrington's deli-style restaurant, the Belted Goat, will also be open for those just looking for a sandwich, a coffee or glass of wine, or a scoop of Maple View Farms ice cream.
Phil Campbell used to offer
Wed, 04/08/2009 - 12:43 — gregcox (author)Phil Campbell used to offer shad roe every spring at Flying Burrito, but I doubt they're still doing it since he sold the restaurant. The only place I've seen shad roe on the menu this year is Four Square (www.foursquarerestaurant) in Durham. Owner/chef Shane Ingram is offering it as an appetizer on his April menu, wrapped in prosciutto and served with roasted banana, cornmeal spaetzle and verjus. Not what you're looking for, I know, but if you call ahead, maybe he'll do a simpler version for you. Otherwise, you may check out Fishmonger's.

Wed, 04/08/2009 - 11:39 — krislovAnyone know of any restaurants doing old-style shad roe?
I always want it around Easter, but not cooked up fancy or anything....
