Canal Culinary Review

From the moment we pulled up to the County Kitchen fine dining establishment just outside of Asheville, NC and spotted the fantastic lawn decorations (John Love sitting on a ceramic cow) we knew this was just the place for us. Good thing John was sitting on the cow and not the VW because his shirt matched the car perfectly! He would have blended right in. The County Kitchen was a quaint, cluttered, and um……….interesting……….. establishment that didn’t quite know what to do with the likes of us initially, however, it didn’t take long for us to feel right at home.
And now for our anticipated culinary review:
Décor: Grandma’s kitchen meets community garage sale
Service: "Grandma and Grandpa, please don’t fight! Christine only wanted to know what was on her salad."
Clientele: Darryl, Darryl and his other brother Darryl
Food: Good Southern home cooking. Had to be vigilant of bones in the pinto beans, and the cornbread……well, get the Texas toast if you choose to visit. Aside from that and a little salt, everything was great – especially the company!!!! (Oh, and yes Diane, the bones were from the pork in the beans – DUH!!)

Thanks John and Eric for the great culinary experience! But most of all, thanks for including us in your journey – we appreciate all you do!!
Safe travels,
Christine Posner and Diane Elftmann
