Greetings from The Urban Food Group!

We hope that everyone is enjoying the beautiful spring weather we have been experiencing lately.  Our restaurants are taking advantage of the fresh local spring produce such as the Asparagus that compliments our Loin of Domestic Spring Lamb at Frazier’s as well as the incredible Local Chiogga & Golden Beets featured in Chef Jeffrey’s Bibb Lettuce Salad.  Vivace is now featuring a Bellini that showcases fresh strawberries from Langdon’s Farm in Dunn, North Carolina.
