After a few excellent lectures and demos at Bookworks I decided to go for a stroll and find some sustenance. What I found not only filled my belly but also satisfied my tingling tastebuds.
If I could recommend one place to be sure and visit in Asheville, NC it would be The Admiral. The food, atmosphere, and drinks at this restaurant were unreal.
"The elegance of a clipper ship in full sail with the practicality and economy of a cinder block."
Not to mention the insanely cool Cathode Ray Aquarium.
It all began with the Coconut Bisque. Peeky Toe crab, Cilantro, and Spicy Pistachio.
Before the meal arrived my comrade got a house made Ginger Ale and I got a Dark and Stormy (House made Ginger Ale, Rum, Black Strap, and Fresh Lime)
Dinner was nothing short of divine. I got the NC Fresh Shrimp, complete with chili garlic, fries, cilantro and lime. The shrimp was tender and the fries were crispy.
The bro got the HNG Beef Tenderloin Tartare paired with a 64 degree egg yolk, smoked cheddar, cornichons, sriracha aioli and toast.
It was gone before I got to try it.
The atmosphere was awesome. The kitchen was viewable from the dining room so I snuck over to grab some shots of the master chef at work.
If you're in NC there is absolutely no excuse for not visiting this restaurant. From the outside you can't really tell that it's a restaurant but once you're inside your taste buds will love you forever.
