Asheville?

I was just there in April and had 2 meals that are probably among the 10 best I've had in the last several years--Cucina 24 and Curaté. Also loved the Wicked Weed guys, their beers, and especially the Funkatorium. If y'all find yourselves in Asheville, and like funky, sour, wild beers the Funkatorium is pretty awesome.

Riverfront Times is going ape [expletive] over Vista Ramen on Cherokee. pics look good. Anybody been yet?

Sardella was obnoxiously good.

Revel Kitchen next to Mai Lee is real good. Fast casual. Upper end of price range for such a place but worth it. Healthy dishes - I wouldnt be surprised if they attempt to get more locations. Website says owner cooks for a local professional baseball team.

Used to be called Athlete Eats. Favored spot of narcissistic fitness douches. Well, the ones I work with anyway.

I just read that. Odd location- part of parking garage bldg , as is Mai Lee and a shred fitness place(mostly women). Lots of yoga pants.

I go to the gym right there and eat at Mai Lee a few times a month and I've never once been tempted to go into Revel. I did go to Athlete Eats once when it was on Cherokee. It was weird.

Athlete Eats on Cherokee? No wonder that closed.

My expectations were low, which always helps. But trying to eat semi-decent nowadays. Change of pace.

Mai Lee, I never know what to get from their 90 or so dishes. Its ok.

I'll probably check it out now that you said it was decent. I noticed that it was pretty busy around noon earlier today - at least the patio was full.

I like all of Mai Lee's noodle dishes and Qui is one of my favorite restaurant people. Did you know that the bartender and namesake is a burgeoning pop star?
