With the windows down on the way to Mills River Brewing Company, the scent of burgers hitting the grill and chicken frying fills the air.
The mix of a sun-filled evening and plenty of inside and out dining space apparently gave many the same idea as me. As the brewery came into view, I spotted a full parking lot, a sight reminiscent of pre-pandemic days.
I hadn’t visited Juju’s Craft Cookery, Mills River s house food operations, since writing a full review two years or so ago. The menu seemed relatively unchanged, with beer friendly food including a slew of burger options loaded with tempting ingredients such as candied bacon and caramelized balsamic onions.

ASHEVILLE - A famously shouty chef recently visited Western North Carolina to learn about Appalachian and Cherokee traditions from foragers, farmers, Native Americans and one local restaurateur.
Gordon Ramsay, perhaps best known to the general public as the acerbic star of Hell s Kitchen, is more subdued in person, said William Dissen, chef-owner of The Market Place in Asheville. He s a very kind and very diplomatic man, and very different than what you see on TV shows, Dissen said. He s very down to earth, even though he s an ultra celebrity.
Dissen was selected by National Geographic as somewhat of an unofficial ambassador of Appalachia for the Smoky Mountains episode of Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. Dissen s task was to show Ramsay around a bit, and then send him off in pursuit of regional adventure.
