This was a nice little read about Asheville food. Touching on the farm-to-table aspect the city is known for, the prominent chefs, restaurants, farmers, and breweries (at least at the time of writing), it's a bit of Asheville culture all wrapped up for you.

Regrettably, this book was written over a decade ago, and as such, not quite as relevant as it used to be (only a few of the places mentioned in this book are still going). But it does capture the essence of Asheville food quite well, and gave some history on Biltmore that I didn't know before.

The farm to table movement can't be lauded enough and Asheville gets that, setting a great example for other communities to follow!
