Brunch in Asheville: Tupelo Honey

At the center of downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is a great place for brunch – Tupelo Honey. There’s a nice enclosed patio area, but it was intensely heated, so we chose to eat inside.

My husband built his own omelette – stuffed with roasted red peppers, asparagus, caramelized onions, and goat cheese.

This plate-sized sweet potato pancake with pecans is a signature dish. Definitely large enough to share!

I was a bit disappointed that the egg white frittata was no longer on the menu, so I ordered the Eggs Betty instead: two medium poached eggs on a buttermilk biscuit.  I really liked that Tupelo Honey let me choose asparagus instead of ham on the side, and sliced tomatoes instead of hash.

The Final Word: Tupelo Honey serves up a solid breakfast with Southern flair.
