Enter if you can shrug the dignity.

It was the night of the brightest full moon in 30 years, if you missed it Saturday Cinco de Mayo, stick around another 30 and maybe it’ll happen again. The Tupelo Honey Cafe had a wait, because it’s so good, so I wondered into the hipster-ist of hipster-stores — no, the hipster-ist of the hipster of hipster stores, in the hipster-capital of the East. What other could I be speaking of than the Urban Outfitters in the heart of Asheville, NC? I couldn’t stay in long, of course, I felt like I was holding my breath in there, but I did it — I went in, snapped a shot to prove, yes, it -does- exist, right there on the corner of College and some other street(oops), and yes, I survived.

The wait ended, and the egg-roll appetizer was great, but not as good as the chicken I had for dinner. Okay, so, I can’t remember the fancy name on the menu, but it came with cheesy cauliflower which I had doubts about, but turned out to be much better than expected. The desserts though, that’s the real gold. The banana pudding will nearly melt your face off with its smooth delectability, and the sweet potato creme brûlée is just too odd of a menu-item to not try out. Turns out, both are great options. You’ll appreciate the lightness of the pudding after a full meal of awesome, but the sweet potato creme brûlée is so rare and definitely worth it in my book.

As its early May, a table outside was perfect, and I had full view of the bright full moon right from the table.
