What is the chef at Herons' food philosophy?

  1. Executive chef Scott Crawford keeps one major goal in mind when creating dishes for Herons: to incorporate fresh, locally sourced ingredients into high-quality, American cuisine. It may sound like a simple strategy, but it never fails to produce some of the most delicious dishes in the Raleigh-Durham area.

    Crawford makes a special effort to use locally grown organic produce and farm-raised meats, ensuring the flavors at the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star restaurant are always ripe, succulent and perfectly in season. Many dishes on the menu take on a distinct Southern flair, while others have their own style. Even so, the result is always the same: consistent, superior food that may be the best you've ever tasted.
