    There was four of us who went and we shared plates, but I don't remember it being terrible price wise. It was cheaper than curate.

    Mostly tapas, but some of them have entree portions. Farm to table, all these places get their shit from local farms.

    Also Biscuithead in west Asheville is the best breakfast in the city hands down. It crushes early girl and over easy. They have a fucking gravy flight.

    Sunny point is awesome. We stayed in west Asheville last time and went there on Saturday and biscuit head on Sunday. Both of those places were ridiculous. Next time you go make the trip to biscuit head and get the mimosa fried chicken biscuit.

    so, if you had to choose best breakfast, biscuithead or sunny point?

    Good timing. Heading to Asheville tomorrow morning for my wife's 30th birthday. She wants to do the Biltmore tomorrow, so we're doing that and then getting dinner at Curate. We'll probably just walk around and bounce in and out of bars Saturday. Got an Airbnb loft right downtown for both nights.

    Sunny point had a broader menu and better drinks if you are looking to have a few morning cocktails. The food I had at biscuit head was second to none. I would look at the menus and decide for yourself. You can't go wrong either way.

    TheChad Boiled peanuts are good

    I went to Ashville with the ex wife a few years ago. Most I've ever spent on a dinner, I can't remember the restaurant but the bill was 325

    :/

    Hope you are staying at harrahs. Peters pancakes and waffles is a must for breakfast after a night and morning in the casino. Also FYI you have to pay for booze in the casino.

    Great town. Did the Biltmore Friday. Pretty impressive, especially considering George Vanderbilt was a bachelor when he built it.

    Pre-dinner booze at Thirsty Monk Friday night followed by Curate. It was absolutely fantastic. We got 7 plates and all were god-tier. Saturday morning we went to Biscuithead and it too was great. Papas and Beer for lunch, watched a little football at the Bier Garden, and then Jack of the Wood for dinner and a good bluegrass band. Grabbed breakfast/brunch at Chorizo before getting back on the road.

    Great little weekend.

    This is where we stayed too.

    Also forgot to mention, we ate lunch at an Indian place called Chai Pani. It was great and was my second favorite meal of the weekend behind Curate.

    We have tickets to Wicked Weed's Sour Festival on July 16th but I think we're going to have to reschedule. If anyone will be there, I'll sell them for face value of $80 each.

    Best friend and I are heading up to Asheville on 8/21 for a few days, staying at an airbnb around downtown. Def gonna hit up a few of the places recommended in here and hit up every brewery I can. Last year I hit up Wicked Weed, Burial and I believe green man. Gonna at least double that this time. Any recs for anything to do outside of that?
