OOPS!!! Hit the wrong key. It's still Asheville!
We love Asheville!! We're going to be there weekend after next. We always stay right downtown so we can walk to everything, but if you know of a wonderful place to eat, driving isn't a problem. We're looking for good food, not fancy. Locally owned. Southern, homemade, real stuff. You know what I mean!! :) I found the best place for coffee last time we were there. Green Sage!
Thanks for all your help!!

We were there for a week a couple of years ago, right about this time. We toured the Biltmore on Hallloween day. The highlight of our eating out was at fig bistro in Biltmore Village. Great truffled mac n cheese and other good stuff. For NC barbeque, Little Pig's was recommended and we thought it was very good. We ate in the downtown area one day but it seems to be pretty run of the mill burgers etc. There's a great chocolate shop there! We sat outside at a cafe next to a hotel and who came launching out the front door and down the street to buy beer, but Anthony Bordain, or someone that looked JUST like him! Almost choked on my martini. We had a kitchen in the cabin we stayed in and we really mostly raided that lovely farmer's market they have in town and dined on local ham, heirloom tomatoes, the local cheese, brick oven breads, fresh pastas, and more, all available at this time of year. Enjoy your trip! Asheville is such a great place to visit, I can see why you make return trips.

If you're driving, the farmer's market is very worthwhile. There's a restaurant right at the gate that was pretty good last time I was there (May of this year). Mellow Mushroom is great for pizzas of all types. If you head north to Weaverville, Stoney Knob Cafe is a little eclectic place with a mainly Mediterranean menu.
@lambowner--Little Pigs is a "local" chain with locations in upstate SC also. All great.

@lambowner--Thanks so much! I bet the Biltmore on Halloween was really cool!!! Would love to have see Anthony!! :) Was that cafe The Something-Or-Other Frog? The name has something to do with a frog. lol
@beth1--The Mellow Mushroom just looks so cool, we'll have to hit it up next time, never been there. Thank you Beth!!

Yea, you know, I think it did have a froggy theme. It was actually attached to the hotel, with a large outdoor patio. Biltmore was amazing. That big ole empty underground pool still freaks me out when I think about it. And now that Baker mentioned it, we also stopped at that restaurant at the entrance to the farmer's market. Very homey, diner-ish and pretty tasty as I recall.

I was beth that mentioned the restaurant at the entrance to the farmer's market, sorry! Ready to go back myself now. The rates are low at this time of year.
