Question 1

Girls Day Out: sipping & snacking our way through Grove Arcade's Restaurant Row

Accepted Answer

Warm days full of sunshine and breezes are perfect for eating outside. It was just such a day recently, and past time to do something fun with girlfriends. Strolling from restaurant to restaurant at Grove Arcade&#8217;s Restaurant Row (https://grovearcade.com/), stopping at patio tables shaded by colorful umbrellas, we caught up over glasses of wine & shared plates.
Of course we also spent some time browsing the shops and outdoor Maker&#8217;s Market, where local artists and craftspeople sell their work.
The afternoon flew by. It was a perfect Girls Day Out, but it would have been just as fun with the guys along.
We stopped at all six restaurants, sampling different cuisines at each. Of course you can go to fewer restaurants and still have a fabulous time! The following list is in the order we chose, but you can mix it up to suite yourself. Menus and hours are posted on line.
Battery Park Book Exchange
La Premier Tier Champagne Flight
WEBSITE
The full name of this wondrous labyrinth of the written word is &#8220;Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar&#8221;. That&#8217;s right, you can enjoy &#8220;edibles and libations&#8221; ordered from a huge selection of wines, sparkling wine cocktails, coffee, beer, cider, cheese boards, and desserts at this comfortably sophisticated used book store. On weekends you can listen to live music while you browse. Done browsing? There&#8217;s lots of seating where musicians set up near the bar, as well as throughout the bookshop. We shared a Champagne Flight and a French Cultural Platter. Take a look at their menu here.

Baba Nahm
Hummus Bowl: pickled vegetable, Israeli salad, feta, olives, sumac, zatar, parsley,toasted pita and EVOO
WEBSITE
Baba Nahm serves up middle eastern cuisine in a &#8220;grab and go&#8221; format. That doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t eat in. There are plenty of seats inside and a few tree-shaded picnic benches, where we sat, out front. That Hummus Bowl was fantastic, as was the filled Flat Bread (pictured below) that we shared. Fabulous seasoning! See their menu here.

Carmel&#8217;s Kitchen & Bar
Fried Green Tomatoes: Fried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, arugula, balsamic vinaigrette, bacon, basil aioli
WEBSITE
Carmel&#8217;s keeps it casual while serving up a wide selection of Southern inspired dishes like delicious Fried Green Tomatoes (pictured above), Pimento Cheese, and Catfish Reuben. Their corner patio, next to the Makers Market, is great for people watching. And if you&#8217;re there on a weekend, you&#8217;ll get a good taste of what Asheville is about. Watch as various types of tours cruise by: the Amazing Pubcycle, LaZoom Bus, and Gray Line Hop-On, Hop-Off Trolleys. If you&#8217;re on a Trolley Tour, definitely hop off at Grove Arcade. Look for the red umbrellas. See Carmel&#8217;s &#8220;All Day&#8221; menu here. And don&#8217;t miss the dessert and drink menus.

Modesto
Octopus: Asiago, fennel seed, chili flakes, tomato, olive oil
WEBSITE
Oh, Modesto. How I yearn to see you again for a full meal. Like in the old country, Modesto wraps you in luscious, generously portioned Italian food. Pizzas and Calzones are baked in their imported Italian Mugnaini wood-fired oven. The Octopus pictured above was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly! Everything we ordered was very good. We did go a little overboard here, but it couldn&#8217;t be helped. See their menu here.

BurgerWorx
Build your own amazing burger, or choose one of their house specialties
WEBSITE
By now you&#8217;re wondering, what were they thinking? How could anyone eat that much? Here&#8217;s a little secret; we wanted to sample the flavor of all six restaurants, so we left with a few boxes of what would become delicious leftovers. BurgerWorx is a fun concept. They have House Specialties you can order, or you can &#8220;build&#8221; your own burger by filling in a detailed form that covers type of meat, cheese, toppings, sauces, extras, and type of bun. These burgers were dripping with juicy goodness. You can also order ahead online for pickup using their LineSkip App. To see all the options, click on the &#8220;Menu&#8221; link on their website.
Epicurean Notes:

As always, verify days and hours of operation before you go, if you&#8217;re heart is set on a particular restaurant
And a reminder that online menus give you a good idea of what to expect, but you might find that some items have changed when you go to the restaurant

Question 2

Atlanta's H&F Burger Opening in Asheville

Accepted Answer

This fall, James Beard Award-winning chef Linton Hopkins of Hopkins & Co. in Atlanta (Restaurant Eugene, Holeman & Finch and C. Ellet&#8217;s) will open H&F Burger (https://hfburger.com/) in Asheville, North Carolina — the first restaurant to open outside of his hometown. With existing outposts in Ponce City Market, SunTrust Park and Mercedes Benz Stadium, H&F Burger is known city-wide for its craft approach to burgers, and Hopkins looks forward to introducing his signature takes on Southern favorites to the Asheville area.
An Atlanta native, Hopkins is known for his deceptively simple cooking style that celebrates local produce and community-driven cuisine, with restaurants that embody his Southern heritage. He originally opened H&F Burger in Atlanta in 2015, inspired by the famed burger originally served at Hopkins&#8217; Atlanta institution, Holeman & Finch Public House: a griddled double cheeseburger, topped with red onion and house-made pickles, served on a freshly baked pan de mie bun with from-scratch ketchup, and mustard on the side.
The newest location of H&F Burger will feature the famed Atlanta burger, along with a rotating selection of burgers, milkshakes, salads, side dishes and more, all inspired by the abundance of regional ingredients and purveyors of the Asheville area such as RHU Bakery. A whiskey bar will feature nearly 100 whiskies, along with local craft beers and wine.
The Asheville location of H&F Burger will also include a walk-up Hop&#8217;s Chicken window at the rear of the restaurant, serving fried chicken, as well as Hopkins&#8217; signature takes on global fried chicken dishes such as a Japanese katsu chicken sandwich.
The two concepts will live under the same roof in downtown Asheville, located at 77 Biltmore Avenue, with abundant seating for up to 100 in an indoor bar and dining room, as well as an outdoor patio. A casual interior will be filled with TVs, jukeboxes and arcade games meant for family-friendly meals.
Hopkins looks forward introducing H&F Burger and Hop&#8217;s Chicken to Asheville and hopes to welcome both locals and visitors alike to the new restaurant this fall.

Question 5

Capella on 9 and Maker’s Mark Release Asheville’s First Private Select Whisky

Accepted Answer

With a heavy-pour of excitement, AC Hotel Asheville Downtown’s Capella on 9 announces the arrival of the rooftop bar and restaurant’s exclusive Marker’s Mark Private Select Barrel—which has never been done before in Asheville. Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 7, for a limited time only, locals and travelers from near-and-far can belly up to Capella on 9’s bar for a glass of the acclaimed whisky, served neat, “on the rocks” or mixed in an Old Fashioned made by one of the bar’s talented mixologists.
Earlier this year, veteran Capella on 9 bartenders Colin Dennis, Megan King and Food and Beverage Director Brandon Maynard made the trek to Loretto, Kentucky, to try their hand at creating Capella on 9’s very own private select whisky (spoiler: they nailed it!). The team’s mission was to design a spirit specifically for the purpose of mixing the best—and most exclusive—Old Fashioned in the city.
“We entered the tasting room, decked out with formal flight settings and chemistry equipment; and, to top it off, on the other side of the glass walls there were tourists coming in and snapping pictures of us as the guide explained to them what we were doing. Our nerves got a bit shaky, but then the whisky started flowing and we forgot all about that,” laughs Dennis.
After five attempts at conquering the task, the Capella on 9 team decided that number four was the winner. The blend—appropriately named Ole #4 as a nod to the fourth attempt it took to perfect the taste—contains a base of French Cuvée and mocha staves, and paired fantastically after mixing the concoction with simple Old Fashioned ingredients.
“Consumed neat, it was exceptional; but, after Colin mixed up some Old Fashioned cocktails for us, it was a whole new ball game,” says Maynard of Ole #4.
This year, the flavor profile of the private select barrel is geared towards an Old Fashioned cocktail; although, the approach will change year after year to focus on food pairings, neat pours and “on-the-rocks” style. The concept generates excitement for Capella on 9 staff and they already have their wheels spinning for future Maker’s Mark whisky creations.
“Creating this private select barrel was a really wonderful experience—an experience that very few bartenders are able to experience in the duration of their career,” says King.
Lucky for travelers, locals and whisky aficionados, Ole #4 will be available for tasting beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 7. To get a taste of the pure genius from the beverage team, order the Ole #4 Old Fashioned; the blend is smooth on the front with a classic Kentucky burn on the back. Though guests are encouraged to enjoy the whisky any way they choose, this 2019 vintage has been specifically created to be enjoyed in this one-of-a-kind cocktail. Cheers!

About Maker’s Mark® Bourbon
In 1954, in Loretto, Kentucky, Bill Samuels, Sr. fulfilled his dream to create a handmade and delicious bourbon. He decided to make his whisky in small batches, using soft red winter wheat, with a proprietary barrel char to enhance the softness and sweetness. He then rotated each barrel by hand for consistency, and finally, aged each barrel to taste. Bill Samuels, Sr. transformed bourbon from a “commodity” into a premium handmade spirit, and today Maker’s Mark® continues to make its bourbon exactly the same way. In recent years, Maker’s Mark has introduced thoughtful, super-premium innovations to its portfolio including Maker’s Mark 46®, Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength and Maker’s Mark Private Select™, the brand’s first-ever custom barrel program.
In 1980, the Maker’s Mark distillery became the first distillery in America to be designated a National Historic Landmark and has also been decreed as the &#8220;world’s oldest operating bourbon whisky distillery” by Guinness World Records. It remains one of the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. For more information, please visit www.makersmark.com.

Question 8

Boojum Brewing Company - the Boojum is Real!

Accepted Answer

Where to meet a friend for lunch (or any meal) in Waynesville? How &#8217;bout a spot that&#8217;s as much restaurant as it is brewery, sporting a killer deck out back? That would be Boojum Brewing Company Taproom (https://www.boojumbrewing.com/). And if you&#8217;re looking for entertainment, don&#8217;t miss The Gem, the downstairs bar the folks at Boojum describe as &#8220;an affable downtown bar featuring 16 beers on tap, a full bar, TVs, a pool table & a limited but appetizing menu! Over age 21 only.&#8221; The Gem also hosts lots of live music. You can see what&#8217;s happening at The Gem on their Facebook Page.
Before getting talking about the brews and bites, I thought I&#8217;d look in to the &#8220;Boojum&#8221; name and what it might mean. Looks like I need to bone up on NC lore! You can read more about the Boojum on the beer menu.

&#8220;One might say the Boojum is similar to the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayans or the Wampas Cat in the swamps of Eastern North Carolina. But Boojum is a unique creature of his own and Haywood County is his home.&#8221; ~ visitncsmokies.com

Boojum&#8217;s main floor is semi-divided: bar to one side, dining room to the other. I was headed to the dining room, but took a minute to watch the bar lighting cycle through multiple colors. Fun, but would it drive me crazy sitting at the bar? Not sure. I&#8217;ll have to give it a try some time.

On first taste, I knew there was something special going on here. Every single dish we ordered was surprisingly good. Not just good for a brewery, but good for a restaurant.
Love tomatoes? You must try the Tomato Bisque Soup (Cup $4, Bowl $6) made with roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, Boojum beer, and garlic fried croutons. Robust in texture, but not too thick, each bite is full of rich tomato flavor.

Salmon on a bed of seasoned chopped kale, drizzled with balsamic (don&#8217;t remember the price) was absolutely fantastic! My friend ordered this and gave me a taste. You can bet I&#8217;ll get it (if available) the next time I&#8217;m at Boojum. The salmon was cooked to perfection with a deliciously seasoned sear. Not a kale fan? Try it anyway. You may just be surprised at the burst of flavor and friendly texture with each bite.

Wait. What about the beer? This is a brewery after all. Just for fun, I tried a half pint of one of their &#8220;specialty&#8221; brews, a strawberry small batch release. It was light, fresh, and tasty with just enough hint of strawberry to make it interesting. When you go, ask to hear about their current small batch brews.

Take a good look at The Cataloochee ($12) burger below. This mess &#8216;o deliciousness comes with fries (not pictured). Substitutions are available at an additional cost.
Take a Brioche Bun, put some apple-fennel slaw on it, add a cooked-to-order burger, top that with house-made farmer&#8217;s cheese (scrumptious) and tomato jam (also scrumptious). After announcing I&#8217;d be taking half home with me, I ate the entire thing! Comfort food that should satisfy the hungriest of appetites, along with a Boojum brew of course.

Here&#8217;s a shot of the back deck and service bar. This was early on a quiet day, so it wasn&#8217;t set up yet.

Epicurean Notes:

Boojum&#8217;s easy to find, right on Waynesville&#8217;s Main Street.
Service was good. Table and surrounds were clean.
As always, check days and hours of operation before going (I usually call).
Remember that online menus are not always up to date, but can be used as a reference for types of dishes and pricing.

Question 9

New Executive Chef and Waitlist Option at Good Food on Montford

Accepted Answer

Charlotte-based hotspot Good Food on Montford (https://www.goodfoodonmontford.com) is rolling out exciting changes in anticipation of its upcoming 10-year anniversary. The second restaurant from award-winning Chef Bruce Moffett puts a fresh spin on global small plates with one goal in mind – taste without borders. The menu changes seasonally with inspiration pulled from the produce they source locally or with their current culinary obsessions. To continue in pursuit of their worldly mission, Good Food on Montford tapped new Executive Chef Kieran Gonzales to take the lead. This transition comes as previous Executive Chef Larry Schreiber takes the helm of the restaurant group’s newest venture, Bao + Broth. The forthcoming restaurant, located at Optimist Hall, opens later this summer.
Executive Chef Kieran Gonzales
Chef Kieran Gonzalez was born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia and found his passion for the culinary world through his Filipino heritage. His background provided an exotic and unique approach to food that was not available in his hometown at the time. He took his culinary acumen to Johnson & Wales to further his skills and work his way through the ranks of the restaurant world. Drawn to the chef-owned and family-based culture that surrounds the small-plates eatery, Good Food on Montford gives him the opportunity to pursue more creative expressions and his talent has proven to be a perfect fit for the restaurant.
“This city’s restaurant scene is nothing short of special. There is no shortage of restaurants with innovative menus and I’m proud to join the quintessential example of that in Charlotte,” says Chef Kieran Gonzales. “Good Food on Montford has long been known for its inventive, constantly evolving dishes – the food speaks for itself here and I’m looking forward to elevating the menu even further.”
The changes at Good Food on Montford don’t stop there. For the first time ever, the notoriously popular restaurant has begun utilizing Wisely. This option allows guests to add their party to an electronic waitlist in an effort to decrease wait times. As temperatures continue to rise in Charlotte, the ability to sign up for the waitlist online will be a welcome change for those who previously had to wait in long lines outside of the restaurant.
About Moffett Restaurant Group: Owned by Chef Bruce Moffett, Moffett Restaurant Group is a collection of restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina. The restaurants include upscale, American cuisine at Barrington’s, tapas-style food at Good Food on Montford, authentic Italian at Stagioni, and a blend of Northern shore food with a Southern twist at N.C. Red. MRG understands that dining out is as much about the experience as it is about the food. While all four MRG restaurants have their own style, décor and cuisine, they share one quality: a comfortable setting paired with innovative, seasonally-driven dishes. In spring of 2019, MRG will be adding another restaurant to the group; Bao + Broth.

Question 11

Asheville Art Museum, w/rooftop cafe, opens this Summer after major remodel

Accepted Answer

Looking for a new reason to visit Asheville, N.C.? The eye-popping $24+ million Asheville Art Museum project will (https://www.ashevilleart.org/) focus on American Art of the 20th and 21st centuries and work from Western North Carolina and the Southeast.

Three reasons to consider the Asheville Art Museum for summer, fall and holiday travel:
1. Appalachia Now! An Interdisciplinary Survey of Contemporary Art in Southern Appalachia
will be the inaugural special exhibition on view through 2019. New York-based interdisciplinary scholar and curator Jason Andrew considered more than 700 artists from the Southern Appalachian states of North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. After 55 studio visits and an open call, which garnered more than 400 applicants, Andrew selected 50 diverse working artists. Mediums span photography, ceramics, glass, performance, painting, new media, music, sculpture and more.
2. Glass facade, rooftop café, and more&#8230;
The Museum&#8217;s expansion includes a stunning glass facade and art-filled atrium, an oculus window, sculpture terrace and rooftop café worthy of Asheville’s foodtopian values. Henry Richardson&#8217;s glass sculpture, Reflections on Unity, has been chosen for the first public art installation on the plaza in front of the Museum.

3. Intersections in American Art Offers a Fresh, Diverse Look at the Collection
The Museum jumpstarts a conversation between the viewer, the region and American art with this exhibition. A grant from the Henry Luce Foundation allowed a diverse group, including an N.C. poet laureate, to help reinterpret the Collection with ideas derived from Black Mountain College.

Question 12

Aloft Asheville Downtown Awarded Marriott International’s 2019 Alice S. Marriott Award

Accepted Answer

With great honor, the Alice S. Marriott “Spirit to Serve” Award is presented to McKibbon Hospitality’s Aloft Asheville Downtown. The award, which received hundreds of nominations per year, was initially created to honor the late Marriott Co-Founder Alice S. Marriott—mother of Executive Chairman/Chairman of the Board, Bill Marriott. Those who have been presented with this award exemplify Alice’s philosophy, “By generously giving our time, energy and resources, we enrich the lives of others.”
The activities that earned Aloft Asheville this prestigious award include providing shelter to the homeless through Homeward Bound; working to end hunger with MANNA FoodBank; teaching students career and life skills through Eliada Homes; providing care and love to special needs and disadvantaged children; raising awareness for breast cancer; improving the arts and education in the Asheville community; and rehoming hundreds of rescue dogs through their successful foster dog program, Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue.
In acceptance of the award is former Aloft General Manager David McCartney—recently promoted to general manager of new downtown Asheville hotel concept, Hotel Arras, which will open its doors this summer—who received the news via congratulatory letters from Bill Marriott and Marriott’s President/CEO Arne Sorenson. “An authentic dedication to the community is of high importance at all McKibbon hotels, so this recognition is truly a special accomplishment for Aloft Asheville,” said John McKibbon, Chairman of McKibbon Hospitality.
‘We are beyond honored to receive this award, but more importantly proud of the efforts we’ve made in our Asheville community,” said McCartney. “The entire staff at Aloft Asheville embraces the golden rule and it’s so humbling to know that we all come to work realizing that our impact reaches far beyond the four walls of the hotel, and that our guests are always willing to give a helping hand, as well.”

McCartney and Aloft Asheville Downtown’s Operations Manager, Dexter Hazel, traveled to the home of Marriott Corporate Headquarters, Bethesda, Maryland, on Tuesday, May 14, to attend the Marriott Awards of Excellence ceremony at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Adding to the incredible honor, Aloft Asheville Downtown is the first from the Aloft brand to ever accept this award.
Other awards being presented include the J.W. Marriott, Jr. Diversity Excellence Award, the Debbie Marriott Harrison TakeCare Award of Excellence and the Stephan Garff Marriott Award of Excellence for Culture.

Question 13

Discover Asheville's Luscious Urban Oasis: Liberty House Coffee and Cafe

Accepted Answer

Normally I have a good idea what to expect before checking out a new (to me) spot, but not this time. Liberty House Coffee & Cafe (https://www.libertyhousecafe.com/) was close to a blank slate in my mind before heading over for lunch last week with my pal Barrie.
There was one article, probably old news written shortly after Liberty House opened three years ago, that talked about a lack of enough seating at the popular eatery. That was the main reason I nixed Liberty House for a last minute lunch with my two sisters, figuring none of us wanted to eat lunch sitting on stairs, the curb, or in our car.
We pulled up to the side entrance and patio, parking on Liberty Street. First impression: someone did a fantastic job transforming this cottage just outside downtown Asheville in to an adorable coffee shop/cafe!

Those red umbrellas really pop, adding so much to the overall exterior look.
As soon as we headed in the side door from the patio/terrace (not noticing the front entrance) we were impressed with the quality and creativity of decor and finishes. Even functional pieces like the water dispenser (bottom right in the image below) was special enough to be noticed, while not crossing the line in to kitschy territory.

Check out the ceiling boards, fixed transom window, dentil trim molding above, and casing around the door. Sit in the room where you order and you&#8217;ll be pulling yourself up to a live-edge counter on a wooden bar stool held together with with bright red metal fittings.

And here&#8217;s the extent of the kitchen, tucked in behind the counter where you place your order. The first person who told me about Liberty House was a chef. When I said I hadn&#8217;t been, he was insistent that I go, saying &#8220;they&#8217;re doing things with food that they shouldn&#8217;t be able to do in that space. You&#8217;ve got to give &#8217;em a try!&#8221;
See the espresso machine on the counter? A full suite of espresso/coffee drinks are available. I was happy to see they were selling beans from Hendersonville roaster Independent Bean Roasters. Didn&#8217;t do my normal latte test this time. Too full. See their coffee menu and prices here.

Barrie and I both ordered a B.L.A.T. ($9). In between the toast you&#8217;ll find an heirloom tomato, avocado, heritage farms bacon, organic gem lettuces, dijonnaise, and a little pepper, served with a side salad or chips. I don&#8217;t remember being asked what kind of bread I&#8217;d like, so you may not have a choice? It was good, though.
We both thought this sandwich was great. Not that it was some amazing new creation, but that the ingredients were so fresh and tasty. The only issue was it got a little slippery with those pieces of avocado trying to escape from all sides. The side salad was also very fresh.

Y&#8217;all know my M.O. If there&#8217;s a non-mass-produced, delicious looking scone in my line of sight, I&#8217;m going to give it a try. This apricot ginger scone did not disappoint! I was going to take it home with me, but it didn&#8217;t last that long.
See their menu HERE. See their Blog and/or Facebook Page for specials and menu updates.

So, here&#8217;s the kinda&#8217; funny part. Remember &#8220;Luscious Urban Oasis&#8221; in the title of this post? Coming in to Liberty House from the terrace, I had the impression (and had been told) that it was a small spot without a lot of space or seating.
Well, we walked out the front door and what did we see but an extensive organic garden, including fruit trees. And as far as not enough seating. Well, no problem there. Picnic tables run along the back side length of the garden along with a few other seats.

And again, attention to special touches like what looks like copper pipe railing all along a ramp up to a side entrance and logo metal cutout.
It&#8217;s tiny in the picture below, but see the small box between two posts in front of the brick building? That&#8217;s an active bee hive.

Their garden and local farms supply as much of the menu as possible.
Along the street side of the garden are more cut metal panels between brick pillars, each a different engaging design.

Cute mural on the side of what looks like some time of support/backup building, too.

Here&#8217;s the story, morning glory. Read owner Dylan&#8217;s story about growing up on Liberty Street at his parents bed and breakfast and converting the house his dad lived in for a few years into the now coffee shop & cafe.
Epicurean Notes:

Monday &#8211; Friday: 7am &#8211; 4pm, Saturday & Sunday Brunch: 9am &#8211; 2pm (It&#8217;s a good idea to call any eatery and verify hours if it&#8217;s important that they are open when you get there)
Wi-Fi is available
Take some time looking around inside and out at Liberty House, noticing all the attention to detail, big and small.

Question 14

Finding happy in Harvey's new small plates

Accepted Answer

Two of us were lucky enough be invited to sample some fun, new Small Plates at  Harvey&#8217;s at The Henderson-Restaurant, Lounge & Bar this past Saturday.
Chef/Owner Michael Gilligan explained that he and his wife, Jeanne, have spent the better part of the last year and a half since purchasing the property redoing, refreshing, and repairing the Inn, including replacing broken kitchen equipment &#8211; hood, fridge/freezer, stove, oven &#8211; everything.
And now that they&#8217;re fully staffed and the Inn&#8217;s humming along, Chef Michael&#8217;s able to focus more of his attention on the restaurant: menu development, ingredient sourcing, events, etc.
Presentation of these Buffalo Deviled Eggs will definitely make you happy. Watch as a glass dome is lifted and smoke used to flavor the eggs billows out.

The new menu is designed to be fun and a little adventurous.

&#8220;To dine with us is to eat by whim, free from rules or schedules. It is meant for those who wish to enjoy life to the fullest and pass time with family & friends.&#8221;

Prices range from a low of $8 to a high of $18, with an average around $12.
Chef&#8217;s She Crab Soup let&#8217;s you know it&#8217;s there with bold seasoning and plenty of crab.

We especially liked the flavor of the Kokanee Salmon &#8216;Sashimi&#8217;, brought to the dish by Scorched Sesame Oil and Yuzu Dressing.

We found a little magic along with the happy in this Hudson Valley Foie Gras presentation. Just look at that crystal-like Ice Wine Gelée! Chef Michael explained that this was his way of honoring the traditional pairing of white wine with a dish like this.
Hudson Valley Foie Gras with Japaneese BBQ Eel, Ice Wine &#8216;Gelee&#8217;, and a Soy-Truffle Glaze
For me, the Duck Confit was the evening&#8217;s star. Not only was the duck cooked perfectly, a bite including all three ingredients added a mild flavor & crunch from the grit cake and sweet from the berry sauce.

We finished the evening&#8217;s tasting with a lovely Raspberry Crème Brûlée. If you love Crème Brûlée like I do and have enjoyed it at lots of different restaurants, you&#8217;ve probably experienced various custard textures and have a preference. This one surprised me at first, as a little loose, but then I got a scoop of the berries on the bottom along with the custard, and found my happy.

Chef Michael hasn&#8217;t forgotten those with dietary restrictions. His new menu is clearly market with Vegetarian, Gluten Free, and Non-Lactose options. See the full Small Plate Menu HERE.
Watch for more fun and happy at Harvey&#8217;s with more menu development and reasonably priced &#8220;Dinner and a Movie&#8221; events, Wine Dinners, and special events like their recent Derby Watch Party.

Question 15

Rezaz-underrated, but IMO one of Asheville's best restaurants

Accepted Answer

We wanted to treat our son to a delicious birthday dinner earlier this week. Considerations included great food, of course, a good wine & beer selection, and cocktails, but price was important, too. So that&#8217;s why we went to Rezaz (https://rezaz.com).
Bread For the Table is optional, but at $4 for nice variety of tasty house-made breads, it&#8217;s pretty much a given that you should go for it like we did. Breads this evening were House Focaccia, Oatmeal Blueberry, and Caramelized Onion & Parmesan. The bread is served with herbed dipping oil and whipped butter.

Birthday Boy opted for the Chef&#8217;s 3 Course Dinner: $36 per Person, gratuity & drinks not inclusive. Choose from quite a few items in each of three categories: Snack, Appetizer, and Entree.
From the Snack section, he chose the Israeli Lamb & Beef Bourekas with Muhamarra and Sheep Feta. Ordered a la carte, this yummy dish goes for $10.

For his appetizer, Charred Romaine Salad with Caesar Dressing, White Anchovy, French Onions, Golden Beet, Fried Capers, and Parmesan. A la carte cost is $11.
We were all surprised at the composition of this dish. It was kinda fun to pick and choose what to include in each bite.

And for his Entree, Bistro Beef Filet with Roasted Cauliflower Gratin, Oyster Mushrooms, Lemon Arugula, Veal Demi-Glace. A la carte $24. The filet was cooked perfectly to order and that cauliflower gratin &#8211; wow.
Silly me, I was so focused on the cauliflower gratin (which I tasted and loved), I pretty much missed the filet in the picture below.

And for The Hubs, one of his favorites, Spanish Paella ($22) with Scallop, Red Shrimp, House Chorizo, Chicken, Bomba Rice, Tapenade, Aioli, Soffrito, and Pea. He loved Chef Brian Smith&#8217;s take on this classic.

I&#8217;m a sucker for Chef&#8217;s Moroccan Tagine ($21) creations. Choose a protein to add &#8211; Local Chicken, Tofu, or Red Shrimp &#8211; to a luscious mixture of Fregola (pasta) Ginger, Apricot, Cashew, and Olive. The chicken was cooked beautifully and still very moist.

Throw in a couple beers for the boy, a glass of malbec for my husband, and a G&T for me, and you can understand why we were all pretty full by the end of this meal. But you have to have some kind of sweet end for a birthday dinner, right?
The only thing that fit the bill was a Chocolate Pot de Creme that came with a couple cookies. Our server knew we were celebrating a birthday and nice enough to bring out the Pot de Creme with a lit candle. I really was too full, so the guys shared this one.

THEN, our server brought these three house-made Chocolate Truffles to the table saying that Chef Brian heard we were celebrating a birthday. I&#8217;m guessing that Co-Owner/Pastry Chef Laura Smith made these. As it turned out, I was able to force myself (wink) to let one of these truffles melt in my mouth. It was delicious.

Rezaz is on the edge of Biltmore Village, just south of downtown Asheville. They have a small parking lot that seems to do the trick on most days.
Your server will probably tell you about a couple specials in addition to the regular menu. Whatever you decide to order, I&#8217;m guessing you&#8217;re going to be happy.
