Stories From The Ridge

As a lover of gardening and the great outdoors, Kris naturally felt at home here. And having created his own farm-to-table dining concept (at his Asheville, NC restaurant, Cafe Azalea), his vision for how food is sourced, prepared and served aligned perfectly with our own. Today, his artful cuisine represents that shared vision: using the freshest seasonal ingredients either grown here or locally sourced; creating themed menus that both educate and satiate; and crafting an experience that not only feeds your appetite, but feeds your mind—inspiring new ways of thinking about what you eat.
