Asheville, pregnant wife?   food!!

Addictive and highly creative Caribbean Dishes in Montford at http://ninemileasheville.com/

Outstanding Indian Food downtown at Mela: http://melaasheville.com/mela_main.html

Best BBQ ever, anywhere is down in the River District: http://12bones.com/   

while the wife is feeding on BBQ sneak across the tracks and across the lot and suck down some tap at the Wedge Brewery

I'm a fan of ED Bourdreauxs BBQ in downtown Asheville myself.  There are some very good microbrews there as well

Another Caribbean place is Salsas on Patton.  Tiny place, but awesome food!  If you like Sushi, Kobu is just around the corner from Salsas and is awesome too ~

Someone touched on it earlier but 12 Bones bbq in Ashville deserves another nod.  Some of the bbq I have ever had!  Lots of cafes and music downtown.

Obama ate at 12 Bones when he visited Asheville.  It's Commander in Chief worthy!

In Raleigh right now. cool downtown area. Reminds me of the PDX. Be around here until Monday morning if anyone is up to meet for drink  eating at Mo Joes right now. White 748 right here

In Charlotte. Drove downtown and ended up in a not~so~nice area on the way back to Mathews. I guess that's where we're staying.

If you're in Charlotte Friday and are into NCAABB, there are tournament games.

<Edit> If you're headed to Asheville from Charlotte the Whitewater Center is just off 85 south on your way to 321.  Cool to check out- food isn't bad, $5 parking is a rip off...probably still worth it. 

Highland Gaelic is awesome- brewery is in Asheville.  http://www.highlandbrewing.com/contact.htm

Biltmore House is cool...personally, I think the wine is not very good.

Biltmore wine is ok, but the Sangiovese (sp?) is really nice IMO, better than the rest.  Carries a higher price too.

If I drank it after I had their Syrah, I wouldn't know.  I tasted pepper for two days.  Still makes me cringe.

Not a BB fan anymore. Probably just hit the road before it gets busy here. Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure what the plans are yet. We had a list but now not so sure.
