The blurb posted at Entertainment Weekly in advance of the new issue hitting stands describes an interview with two of The Hunger Games male stars, Gary Ross and Josh Hutcherson. The Asheville-relevant part:

We sat down wth Josh Hutcherson, the 18-year-old actor whom director Gary Ross fought hard to cast as the deeply decent Peeta Mellark, at a cozy diner in Asheville, N.C., where The Hunger Games shoot was mid-way through filming. His hair was dyed blonde; his newly pumped-up biceps could believably belong to that of a baker’s son.

So, anyone know what the “cozy diner” was?

Just got my EW … it was Early Girl for breakfast, and the story mentions the place several times.

Might have been Early Girl. I saw Julie Mehling mention seeing Hutcherson, I believe. On Twitta.
