In 1865, Washington Duke of North Carolina was released from Libby Prison, having been captured during the Confederate army's retreat from Richmond. He was sent to New Bern, North Carolina - 137 miles from his 300 acre farm four miles north of Durham. A federal soldier gave him 50 cents for his 5 dollar Confederate note, and with that Duke set off, walking 137 miles to his home and the beginning of a true American success story.
Scott’s worldly training and palate have offered cutting-edge recipes for our popular features and Wine Cellar courses using the best ingredients North Carolina has to offer.
Born in the United Kingdom, son of an Air Force Captain, Chef Scott James had the unique opportunity to grow up seeing much of the United States and many countries in Europe. His time in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, & Mid-Atlantic States, has sculpted his philosophy and approach to cuisine.
