My husband’s parents are southern; so I’m familiar with grits and other comfort foods. Asheville, however, is not designed for the tourist or out-of-towner in mind. There are many areas without street signs, and the building boom has put houses into sides of mountains. When asking for directions, the natives will tell you the route number but not whether to go north, south, east or west on it. But no matter where you come from, you’ll wind up at the mall in the blink of an eye. BTW, the building boom in nearby Hendersonville is worse ecologically–they blow off mountain tops to accommodate construction. These are the Appalachians that have been with us for hundreds of millions of years that are instantly eroded.

My parents are from the south so I grew up on southern food and I agree that the food is amazing (with a few exceptions like chitterlings). I’m a purist when it comes to my grits – butter and a little bit of salt…

I am sick with envy on the biscuit score.
