Asheville’s food-scene explosion continues. The Food Network was here this week, filming Blind Pig’s most recent dinner, and hitting Ultimate Ice Cream as well.
From Departures.com, Underground chef dinners:
Blind Pig Supper Club, Asheville, North Carolina
The Blind Pig of Asheville specializes in grand, often themed events, like a traditional Japanese dinner in a 138-year-old Appalachian dairy barn in the dead of winter or an ode to Ernest Hemingway involving mofongo rabbit and suckling pig cooked over a spit and open coals in an antiques warehouse. A portion of the profits from each dinner goes toward a local charity.
What’s Cooking: Bone marrow with escargot and lemon; pork belly with Nutella and a salted graham cracker; moonshine cake with blood orange.
How to Get a Seat: Visit the website for information on upcoming dinners and to purchase tickets. $50–$150; blindpigofasheville.com.

How is so much cool shoe-horned into one small city? I could never live anywhere else and be quite so satisfied.
I believe they have lost their “underground” distinction.
