We have restaurants in every category, and a lot of those do participate in the showcase, and a lot of them are locally owned and operated, as well. |
We wanted to sort of broaden the theme this year, to allow the restaurants to really showcase their best foods and menu items. |
With the great variety of restaurants we have, people are coming to Asheville as a culinary destination. We're seeing a lot of ticket sales for the showcase to people in Greenville, S.C., and Charlotte. |
