Roots Cafe @ the Grey Eagle
Roots Cafe, owned by local hummus king Matt Parris, has relocated to the Grey Eagle and is serving up a great variety of old favorites made from super high quality ingredients. (Tip: go for the quinoa hushpuppies!)
Hours: 11 AM-10 PM
The Junction:
The Junction, opening officially tomorrow, is the newest addition to the Pink Dog Creative buildings (the technicolor strip on Depot Street). Molly got a chance to sample what they'll be dishing out, and it does not disappoint. From a farm egg and grilled asparagus sandwich to a hearty smoked tomato soup, the food here is packed with flavor. There's also a full bar with specialty cocktails.
Hours: lunch and dinner
Clingman Cafe:
Trip will be serving the full lunch menu of delicious soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as some special dinner entrees, and you can grab a seat outside to enjoy what we hope will be a nice night! Wedge beer is on tap, from right down the hill.
Hours: 8 AM-8 PM
White Duck Taco Shop:
White Duck Taco is so new it won't event be open until Friday, but already we can tell you it will be good--check out the taco menu below!
Our good friends Carol Motsinger and Erin Brethauer from the Asheville Citizen-Times have been following and chronicling the progress of the restaurant since its early stages: check out their blog. The shop also features artwork by Ishmael. Stop in soon (like... Saturday?) and welcome them to the neighborhood!
Hours: Until sundown
Magnetic Field:
A hybrid restaurant-bar-venue-theatre-latenight-hangout, the Magnetic Field, in the bottom of the Glen Rock Depot, has good food, good beer, and a hip atmosphere. If you're not performanced-out after our event, check out "The Family Tree," a play by Lucia del Vecchio, which got a great review in this week's Mountain Xpress.
Happy eating!
