Headed up to Asheville this weekend and have heard good things about the food and beer scene.

Have reservations at Posana and Vue 1913 and want to go to Bouchon (they don't do reservations). Any thoughts on these and/or others to do?

For breweries there are obviously the bigger ones like Highland, New Belgium, and Sierra Nevada but what about the smaller ones downtown? Seems like Wicked Weed and Burial are highly rated. Just want to get the most out of my 4 days.

Thanks.

Limone's is fantastic. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

Wicked Weed is good. We also enjoyed High Wire.

Curate for dinner. Also the admiral. Get a drink at grove park inn overlooking the blue ridge mtn.

Wicked weed is a must.

Look into Asheville Brews Crews

Tupelo honey for breakfast

Enjoy!

Just got back from Asheville for vacation

Tupelo honey for brunch was good
The admiral was incredible. Get the elk loin
Ate at posano. Also good. Average age seemed to be about 65 for some reason.
Biltmore bistro was incredible as well. I had the trout.
Ate at some place called storm and that was good as well.

Sierra Nevada, wicked weed, and burial beer company were some of the notable breweries we went to. Spent most o our time at the WW funkatorium.

Posana
ate here two times on my trip last week and both times it was awesome. If they have the tuna on special this is a must have. I really enjoyed the scallops as well.

Wicked Weed
Good beer and good food. We watched the Saints beat the Panthers downstairs, the place was full, but we were the only ones watching the game it seemed.

Zambra is a tapas place downtown with great food and an interesting wine list that you should check out as well.

One World Brewing has an interesting tasting room that is kind of hidden. They currently only sell kegs to local establishment and have a plan eventually to distribute. The walk down the alley and down some dark stairs to get to the tasting room was a bit creepy but well worth it.

Overall, I was really blown away by Asheville, the food, beer, beauty of the area and friendliness of the people was impressive. Asheville also has a disproportionate share of lesbians, dogs and gutter punks though.

Enjoy your trip.

I also found that the prices for food and drink was very reasonable.

Must visits:
Wicked Weed and Funkatorium
Burial
Hi-Wire
Wedge
Sierra Nevada
New Belgium

Go if you have plenty of time:
Highland
Green Man
Oskar Blues

Wouldn't waste my time:

Catawba
Twin Leaf
One World (cool basemant feel but beer sucks)
Lexington

Shreveport, LA's own Great Raft Brewing will be pouring at Burial Beer on Saturday.

Should be a pretty awesome event and a bunch of great breweries there as well.
