Adventure Dining: Asheville: Latin

Chorizo

Asheville North Carlina

I actually can't remember the name of what I had but it was a beef dish and somehow the word "coconut" was involved (I really need to start taking better notes). The portion size was HUGE for a dinner item, let alone a lunch option. The over-sized slab of meat came with lots of extras such as plantains, corn cake, and beans. The ingredients were fresh and the menu items were definitely not your run-of-the mill choices, with dishes from countries such as Uruguay and Argentina, such as empanadas. We all thought the prices were reasonable, and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal.

Adventure Dining: Asheville North Carolina

Doc Chey's, Asheville North Carolina

Doc Chey's is a chain, albeit a chain limited to a few southern locations, but one that I suspect is likely to expand, at least to larger urban areas and college towns. The menu consists primarily of diverse asian noodle bowls such as Japanese udon, pad thai, and Vietnamese rice noodles. They also have salads and appetizer options such as edamame and spring rolls. The food was good but in general, not as flavorful as what you could get in a restaurant specializing in the cuisine of one particular country.
