I’m writing this column from Durham, N.C. Everything in the South has extra flavor. The pace is slower here (because believe me, you never rush the social niceties). The architecture, most of built it in the glory days of tobacco, is elegantly faded, and even the guy shouting in the town square quotes impeccable swatches of biblical Scripture. There is a large hipster population here, which means there is a booming farm-to-table movement and great bakeries, wineries, craft breweries and even a distillery that makes Mezcal. I ran into the talented chef of Lucia, in Durham, James Huff.
