title: Using Queries with Eloquent Query Builder
body: <p>everyone:
  Id like to know how can I write a MySQL and execute it directly with the Query Builder. Let's say something easy, like <code>"SELECT name FROM customers WHERE age &lt; '23' AND city LIKE '%Carolina';"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like can use this query directly, no with methods, just pass the query as it is, and get the results. Is it possible?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks every one.</p>
