Cookbook author and local music critic
WAKE-UP CALL "I love the 'breakfast salad' at the Sunny Point Café & Bakery [626 Haywood Rd.; 828/252-0055]: greens dressed in a tart vinaigrette with hickory-smoked bacon and grits 'croutons,' topped with a poached egg."
MUSIC TO MY EARS "The intimate Grey Eagle [185 Clingman Ave.; 828/232-5800] is one of the best venues to catch American folk music stars like Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Also, as soon as you get to Asheville, tune in to WNCW 88.7 FM for traditional bluegrass and alternative folk."
KITCHEN COLLECTION "My favorite antiques mall, the Screen Door [115 Fairview Rd.; 828/277-3667], has lots of funky vintage finds like Russel Wright and Bauer ceramics."
CHILL OUT "The best hot-stone massage I ever had was at Sensibilities Day Spa [59 Haywood St.; 828/253-3222], where the vibe isn't hurried or glitzy."
