Asheville
I visited Asheville a few weeks ago and went to two places worth suggesting:
Tupelo Honey downtown is absolutely fabulous and the service was amazing. We had the fried okra and it was perfect. The angus burger is tasty with a choice of cheese. The home fries are tasty as well. It's an affordable, fresh, and local option that is worth the trip.
Savoy is about five minutes from downtown. While it is on the expensive side, if you are celebrating a special occasion, I recommend it. Ian, the Manager and our Waiter for the evening was a wonderful onephile. He enjoyed talking about the wine selection as much as we enjoyed consuming it. There food is farm-to-plate, with the best evening being Saturday because of the selections available on Saturday morning at the farmer's market.
NASHVILLE
Nashville has so many wonderful restaurants. I visited Flyte this weekend and enjoyed the prix fix menu. I also went to Noshville. It's the best thing I've had since Katz Deli in New York City. They serve the best red velvet cake I have found so far in the Southern United States.
A local free booklet called "Eat" is available with the top restaurants in Nashville. I picked mine up at Flyte and it was dead-on for suggestions.
