Overview
Asheville has been a restaurant town for two centuries, since stagecoaches arrived bringing the first tourists. Neighborhood caf�s and busy lunch counters, raucous roadhouses and white-linen dining rooms provided the backdrop for much of Asheville�s development as a world-class foodie destination. Some, like the Stockyard Cafe and Three Brothers Restaurant, have vanished without a trace, while others, including the Art Deco S&W Cafeteria and the Woolworth soda fountain, are easy to spot because they have barely changed. Longtime residents will recognize recipes for Rabbit�s apple cinnamon pork chops and High Tea Caf�s Eggnog Colbert. Author Nan K. Chase reveals the hidden history of Asheville�s restaurants, including the struggles of desegregation and the decades when downtown Asheville was almost dead.
