Southern food done right

My best friend Colette and I took an overnight trip to Ashville, NC last summer to see her favorite band. While we were there, besides hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and having a ton of fun at the show, we ate dinner at this amazing little restaurant called Tupelo Honey Cafe.

Colette had the Tupelo Angus burger, with I think havarti cheese, which came with homemade pickle slices and these awesomely delicious home fried potatoes. She said it was possibly the best burger she's ever had.
I had marinated grilled tofu, candied ginger corn bread - which was served with whipped peach butter - and a house salad. That tofu was hands down the best grilled tofu I've ever had - and I've had my share of tofu. And the cornbread? Oh. My. God.
