Cameron Bar and Grill Restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina
We work to redefine classic southern cuisine, while giving your taste buds a nostalgic throwback, with a modern twist. I am constantly making my way to the innovation kitchen to find new ways to reawaken these timeless favorites with my own unique spin, catered specifically to my guests.
We asked Chef John for a recipe that he thinks is perfect for the summer weather. He handed us his recipe for Southern Pot Roast and he told us that, “The Southern Pot Roast is a year-round favorite by all of our guests. To me, it’s a bit nostalgic, and takes me back “home.” It reminds guests and myself of big family gatherings, where you would enjoy the classic meals with one another that you’ve loved all of your life. It reawakens memories and brings laughter and fellowship around the table.”
