As far as food goes, there is nothing I miss more now that I’m on the West Coast where crabs only come in [...]

Last year, I spotted the SCRATCH table at the Durham Farmers’ Market but didn’t get a chance to sample the much-lauded fare. Then I heard that chef/owner Phoebe Lawless opened up a brick-and-mortar shop in Downtown Durham. It was no surprise these tasty sweet and savory treats would have lots of fans.

RUE CLER is a restaurant, bakery and cafe located in Downtown Durham. Rue Cler’s owners–John Vandergrift and Chris Stinnett–also own Pop’s Restaurant in the Brightleaf Square/Peabody Place district.
