What's Cookin' in North Carolina: Experiencing regional foods and flavours Gerry is writing today... Our March trip to North Carolina provided my culinary mind with some great opportunities to experience some regional foods and flavours as well as visit some interesting food venues. Here are some of our favorite and first time stops along the way, as I know many of you travel the Halton Hills to Florida route frequently. These are not in any order of travel or preference. 1. Boone Tavern Inn in Berea, Kentucky. Always a special spot for lunch in this college town, specializing in craft and culinary programs. This historic inn downtown offers fresh regional food in a newly reno- Long Weekend Special 15 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, May 19, 2011 Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner vated, beautiful dining room setting. You will not go hungry nor be disappointed. 2. Chelsea's Cake and Tea Room in Biltmore Village in Asheville, N.C. It was our first visit to this traditional tea room, decorated in chintz and lace, sitting in the centre of a fabulous gift shop. Lots of fresh soups, salads, sandwiches, daily specials and heavenly desserts. I enjoyed the Chelsea's sampler course since I couldn't decide-- turned out to be a good choice! 3. Latitude 41 in the Renaissance Hotel in Columbus, Ohio. A fairly new, modern restaurant on the city scene with an interesting take on the menu. Offering a section of small, sharing plates, larger plate choices, garden sides and a 4 or 6 course tasting menu. Service was a tad slow, but the taste and food presentation style were worth the wait. The lobster mac and cheese was a must for me and the pot of pickles, featuring shitakes, cucumber, carrots, radish and cauliflower, but no pickles! For the next few stops on our trip, tune in next week! Have fun and keep cooking!
