Asheville, NC for my birthday

We took a trip to Asheville, NC to celebrate my birthday at a vegan restaurant called Plant. My beautiful wife planned the date. She is not vegan, but LOVED every bite! 



Happy James!!

This dish is a vegan take on shrimp and grits. It has fried mushrooms and a cheesy flavored grits!

Grilled beets with a horseradish mayo with balsamic herbs, and onion tumbleweed. This was REALLY good.

A vegan cheese dish. THIS was the star of the show! Cheeses made with cashew nuts. Apples,  golden beets, dates and toast bites all contributed to a dish we will go back for.

This is a peanut curry dish. It was really good too. Fried tofu, red cabbage, roasted red peppers, eggplant and sweet potato with peanut curry sauce. I could drink this sauce by the gallon it was so good.

This was a smoked portabello with fennel salad, greens and cauliflower  sauce as well as a red pepper steak sauce. The greens are hiding under the mushrooms. While this dish was good, it was my least favorite dish of the night.

We told the server we were celebrating my birthday. She made sure to end the evening on a special note... or WITH a special note.
