Travis and I were fortunate enough to spend a glorious day with our dear friends, Brandy and Josh, from Oklahoma City (who now live in St. Louis, via Portland).
The trip was food for my soul – friends who really know and get you, a small town full of mountains and food that makes this foodie’s heart stop.
Thank you, sweet friends and hubs for making this summer just a bit more bearable.

The Westward drive across I-40, into Asheville.

A flight of local-only brews from The Lab
Brandy's amazing, healthy strawberry salad
My less-healthy pretzels that stopped time briefly. You'll want these over and over.
A quaint little wine bar, 5 Walnut Wine Bar
A whisky bar with an amazing roof top deck, Sazerac.
Imagine walking in and smelling Apothia candles, listening to Jack White and drinking in the sultry atmosphere...
A perfect brunch spot, Sunny Point Cafe.
"angel biscuits"
The MGD: A mighty good breakfast built with two free range eggs, local nitrate free sausage from Snow Creek, herb tossed spuds and an angel biscuit.
Breakfast burrito: Eggs scrambled with serranos, peppers, onions, and cheddar. Wrap it all in a warm flour tortilla and top with warm roasted tomato chipotle salsa and cilantro crema. Served with grits.
