Dear Stu,
I want to agree with your assessment on the coconut cake at Blackbird – what a dissapointment – and I love coconut cake.
I do wish you would cut Glass Onion some slack – not great, but good and when you live way up this way (Madison county) not much around. Also you liked Well Bred — which I have to say – they cook their food ahead of time, I am not a fan of old, stale food.
enjoy your reviews

Stu, thank you so much for the delightful tour Saturday morning it was really appreciated. I was the one with the broken foot. All of the food was delicious and personally I thought the coconut cake was delicious, but so was everything else. Some of the scenery around Asheville was quite odd to me but that is not your fault.

MARTHA!!! You were so awesome on the tour!!! I couldn’t believe it when you told me about your foot! Ha ha! You are tougher than nails! I will forever cite you as an example of a True Food Tour Trooper! It was such a pleasure to have you on the tour and to spend some time with you, Thank you for being such a positive energy force on the tour! “Odd” scenery indeed! Asheville never fails to be… Asheville! :)
