Carolina Epicurean Enjoys Elodie Farms

"Just half an hour North of downtown Durham, feeling more like a million miles away, Elodie Farms sits on 27 picturesque acres...After touring the farm, I took a walk through the farm house. I loved the built-ins and colors, but especially loved the remodeled kitchen."

—"The Many Facets of Elodie Farms," Carolina Epicurean

About That Car - Durham, NC

"Lexus has never dispensed an egg, in my view, and there’s no hen in the DNA of its RX 350... used during a recent excursion around delightfully quirky and creatively cool Durham, N.C. This is a Lexus, for sure... Drive-wise, the sport-ute ably carted friend and me to the sticks to Elodie Farms, where we first-class noshed on — famished? turn away now — three courses including a delicate goat cheese salad and sublime vinaigrette; pan-seared yellowtail snapper with candied yams, brussel sprouts and beets; and braised pork leg with mushroom and corn risotto plus an exquisite flower salad. Awesome... This is a nice in-and-out, easy-parking about-town car, as evinced during a congested run to the popular Durham Performing Arts Center, in a revived downtown, to see the vaunted Rockettes. Later, vehicle agility and a good steering ratio got us easily parked at Duke University, where renown classical pianist Greg McCallum put on a fine — and free! — recital."
