Local Restaurants - 01/20/09 07:59 AM
Asheville is blessed with many local restaurants in case you are tired of the chains. They have delightful names such as the Flying Frog Cafe, Tupelo Honey, Mamacitas, Laughing Seed and Bouchon. Every type of cuisine is available with a warm welcome in most places to vegetarians.  Check out these and many more at this Independent Restuarant website.  Of course there are many chain restuarants available too.  You will never lack for good food in Asheville
