The Fearrington Plate – November 6, 2025

This week brought an incredible honor to The Fearrington House — we were named one of only 47 restaurants in North Carolina recommended by the Michelin Guide.

On Monday, Chef Paul Gagne and General Manager Theresa Chiettini attended the inaugural Michelin Guide of the American South Awards Ceremony, joined by several of our senior team members. It was a truly special evening celebrating excellence in Southern cuisine and hospitality.

“We were so honored to be among such talented chefs and restaurateurs from across the South,” says Chef Paul “It was inspiring to be recognized alongside peers who are at the very top of their craft.” A highlight of the night? Chef Paul had the chance to meet one of his culinary heroes, Emeril Lagasse, who was also honored for his New Orleans restaurant.

This Recommended recognition is a proud moment for all of us — a reflection of 45 years of passion, dedication, and the support of our guests and community. We’ll continue striving for excellence, crafting unforgettable dining experiences, and celebrating the beauty of food, wine, and service done the Fearrington way.
