LAAFF in Asheville

Filed under: Uncategorized — loveinsideandout @ 4:43 pm

You may have noticed my absence, since we were away all weekend.  We left Saturday morning to go to Asheville for the wedding of some friends of ours.  The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and a lot of fun (more on that later this week.)  While we were in Asheville, we went to get some breakfast on Sunday morning.  The restaurant had a 30 minute wait, so we walked the streets of Asheville while we waited.  As we strolled down a street, we noticed people in awesome costumes setting up for something.  We stopped a girl in a purple wig with a purple tutu and asked what was going on.  She said, “The LAAFF starts in just a few minutes!  You should stick around and join us for some fun!”  LAAFF stands for Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival.  We promised we would be back after breakfast…and dashed off to make our reservation.

We ate at the Over Easy Cafe in Asheville.  It was absolutely amazing.  The breakfast was to die for, and the atmosphere was very cool as well.  I loved the screen door, such a nice touch!  The bar was very artistic:

As we walked in the front door, we noticed a free newspaper that described the LAAFF in more detail…look how funny!

Here’s me waiting for our food to come

We loved the art for sale on the walls, it was like a cool little art gallery and restaurant in one!  The restaurant was amazing, we both were blown away by our food.  I had a basic breakfast:  scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese grits, and a biscuit with apple butter.  It was delicious.  Shawn got the juevos rancheros, and he really enjoyed his, too.  Cool music, and awesome service made us wish we had an “Over Easy Cafe” in Atlanta!

I’ll have more on the LAAFF festival shortly…stay tuned!!
