Forks Up Girls Trip - Asheville, NC
Long before Sunny Point Café landed in the 2025 Michelin Guide, it topped the Chaos Family Trips Guide.
That is no small feat. Very few restaurants have survived the picky eaters I've raised. It’s a minor flaw in my parenting skills.
Ryland: Chicken and Waffle Sandwich
Bre: Plain Jane French Toast
Lucy Jagoe: Pound Cake Bites
Stone: Mighty Good Breakfast.
This trip, I ordered the Tuna Burger. Yellowfin tuna mixed with soy, sesame and ginger, topped with scallion aioli, ripe tomato and peppery arugula. It hit every single flavor note!
But let's talk about the real star of the show: the shrimp and grits.
Cheesy chipotle grits. Blackened shrimp. Dijon cream sauce.
And then there's the maple black pepper bacon.
Put it on the shrimp and grits, put it on your burger, put it with your eggs! Just put it in your mouth! It is absolutely ridiculous.
If you're headed to Asheville, put your name on the waitlist, grab a cocktail and claim an Adirondack chair. The wait is part of the experience.
And when you get your check, tip your server well. The staff here is genuinely some of the kindest you'll find anywhere.
Forks Up!
Also pictured: Fried green tomatoes with red pepper aioli and goat cheese. Fantastic! And a mocktail called Blackberry Thyme which was wonderful!
