Returning from book tour for Service Ready has my heart FULL. 💗 Such a joy hanging out with so many of you far and wide and meeting new friends on the road. Launching the book tour in my home town (such a big part of our story), with these beautiful humans in @chaipani was heaven. The memories have taken up residence in my heart and will remain there always. 🙏 #author #authorlife #asheville #nc #restaurant

In the latest episode of the Taste of the Town, we return to Asheville, but this time, we're focusing on the South Slope. We started off at @wheelhouseasheville , a new spot slinging coffee and cocktails with a familiar feel. Then we head on over to @chaipani to check in with the storied restaurant and finish up the day with a South Slope original, @greenmanbrewery .
