Asheville's Southern cuisine is some of the best in the South. You will find that special and unique Asheville touch to Southern dishes with the New Southern variations that include organic and even vegetarian options.
In fact, many of Asheville's Southern restaurants believe in the farm to table concept, serving up made-from-scratch dishes with ingredients provided by local farmers.
Sample biscuits and gravy with your choice of local hormone-free sausage or soysage, or a plate of sweet potato pancakes topped with homemade maple granola. Dig into grilled duck breast served with panela cheese grits and stewed collard greens. Bite into a triple grilled cheese, or sip on cafe au lait.
Asheville's culinary creativity has resulted in a unique and tasty revival of good old Southern cuisine.
