Avett New Year's Eating Guide - Asheville, NC

This one's a bit more accurate. I've eaten at all these places and have found some really yummy things at all of them. You might have to go super early to get morning breakfast at either of the two breakfast places but they are well worth the wait if you don't get there early enough.

Avett New Year's Eating Guide - Knoxville, TN

Here's a list of restaurants I've compiled for all you Avett Folks travelling in from out of town on 12/30/2009. Tell me what you think of the places. I've only read about these places and heard good things from the grape vine. Knoxville is juuuuust a little too far to go restaurant shopping. Happy Trails!
