L-R: Chef Joe Scully, Anita Elliott, Chef Katie Button, Stu Helm
Twice a month, Chef Joe Scully and Stu Helm the Food Fan fan sit down to talk to each other, and a special guest or two — or three! — to talk about the food scene in Asheville, and in general. There are always lots of laughs, and usually an inappropriate word or two. Joe brings all of his knowledge and experience as a chef and restaurateur to the table, while Stu offers his insights as a life-long diner, food writer, and general goofball. Each episode is fun and unique and geared to entertain
