North Carolina Puts Fall Colors on the Menu
To the northeast of Asheville, Blowing Rock is another mountain town with a thriving restaurant scene.
Crippen’s Inn & Restaurant has been at the forefront for many years, thanks to seasonally driven dishes from chef Stan Chamberlain like “Cornmeal-Dusted North Carolina Trout” (served with creamed cauliflower, collard greens and creamy red eye gravy) and “Apple-Braised NC Rabbit Pot Pie” (paired with parsnips, rutabagas, turnips and baby carrots). Those who want to spend the night will find varied accommodations options just upstairs or in a private cottage at this true North Carolina dining destination.
