Must-visit restaurants
We're heading to Asheville today to spend some time at the Nature Center (they're supposed to have a pretty cool collection of live butterflies) and walk around downtown. With a trip downtown, it's a given that we will stop at The Chocolate Fetish for some overpriced (but fabulous) truffles.
During our travels over the years, I have begun to form a list in my head of places I must visit every time I'm in a particular city. There's some type of magnetic pull that forces my car to drive to these establishments anytime I'm in town. Yeah, it's kinda like a moth heading towards the hypnotic glow of the bug-zapper. There's no denying these places will draw me in with their temptations...
Well, that's about it. There are lots of other places that are fabulous and I love visiting. These, however, are the establishments I associate with these towns. When we're in that city, one of the first things I think is, "Ooh - this means I can go to _______." I'm sure there are more to add to my list, but I can't think of them right now. I did not include Steak N Shake because...well...it's all over the place (except here). If it was just in one town, I'd definitely have this on the list.
So - what are your favorite places? What restaurants are on your must visit list when you go to certain towns?
This could be fun.

- Asheville, NC - The Chocolate Fetish, as mentioned earlier.
- Elnora, IN (We actually go through here several times a year) - Graham Farms Cheese Store
- Charleston, SC area - Banana Cabanna (mmmm....buffalo shrimp) & Sticky Fingers (mmmm...ribs). I was going to add Bowen's Island to the list, but it burned down last year. It was a sad day when I found that out. I'll miss the wall of TVs.
- Evansville, IN - The Donut Bank. There are lots of other restaurants I enjoy eating at, but Donut Bank has kind of become the top place I must visit every time I'm in Evansville. Love their Tiger Tails!
- Johnson City, TN - Pals. Although I like Sammons tea better, everything else is better at Pals - and their tea is still quite good.
