NC day two

we woke up and ate a very belabored breakfast and late breakfast at mom's. had some of the batdorf and bronson organic nicaragua isabelia with our tofu scramble and toast. very delish. went through chapel hill on our way to asheville and killed some time at surplus sid's which is such an awesome military surplus store. thought about stopping somewhere to get a quick cup before the drive but said "fuggit " and got on the road. we eventually touched down in asheville around 7. we had seen some epic sunset on our way but we were unbelievably hungry so immediately set out for rosetta's, which has the BEST food in all of asheville. got the peanut butter tofu,greens, sweet potato fries and gravy. so good. and then went over to izzy's to see dean and make plans for meeting up after he finished work. walked around and showed randy my old haunts, ran into some people i hadnt seen in years. it turns out that dean lives right next to the dripolator's new location on biltmore ave. and i resolved to get a capp there in the morning. the driploator carries counter culture which seems to have a sort of monoculture here in NC. instead of a capp i got a cup of drip mexico organic which was chocolatey and spicy. yummy. we wokred our way over to the tupelo honey cafe for breakfast. earlier i had made the joke that asheville is the place to go if you like having some hot girl serve you organic eggs first thing in the morning. there are like 10 breakfast only restaurants in town. but still with the saturation of breakfast joints there is still an almost hour long wait for a table at tupelo when we arrive. but we do it anyway. we got the biscuits with milk gravy and soysage, goat cheese grits and fried green tomatoes with more biscuits and peach butter. so good. when were sufficiently stuffed we went to izzy's to get a cappucino from dean, which was tremedous . i love izzy's.i love asheville. moreoever, i love good food. we're home now and ready to get back to work.
