The Breakfast Shoppe, Swannanoa, June 19, 2018

This past week, we spent some quiet time out in the mountains of western North Carolina in and around Asheville. The Asheville area is well-known for a vibrant and creative food scene. While many meals were enjoyed over the course of the trip, our visit to The Breakfast Shoppe proved to be the favorite. Here is the #livefooding compilation of The Editor’s visit to The Breakfast Shoppe for some perfect pancakes.

Fluffy, perfect, melt in your mouth flapjacks and a hint a cinnamon… Bacon crisp, not too greasy, grits, thick and creamy… This meal will sustain me for quite some time. #livefooding #durhambeat #swannanoa #thebreakfastshoppe #gasstationdiner #yum
