We love
Asheville! We always stop there overnight on the way down to Pawley's. It's kind of like an Appalachian mini-San Fransisco with a crunchy granola, bohemian vibe to it. If you have the extra day and have never been, the Biltmore Estate is well worth your time.
As previously mentioned, Tupelo Honey is quite popular and seems to be on every-one's "must eat at list" for good reason. However, they don't take reservations so the lines start forming about an hour before every breakfast and dinner service. Make a note and plan accordingly.

http://www.doccheys.com/locations/asheville.phpIf you don't want to wait in the breakfast line at Tupelo Honey then drive down the hill to Biltmore Village and try the breakfast at the Corner Kitchen. It has yet to disappoint us
http://www.thecornerkitchen.com/There is also quite a large farmer's market right off the expressway that is worth a visit as well.
