And THEN, to find out what WNC cuisine entails, they ask a restaurant in Chapel Hill!!

Crook’s Corner is legendary and the late Bill Neal was known as a Southern cuisine historian. His focus, in his cookbooks and in his restaurant, seemed to be on a low-country or variation thereof, cuisine. Here in the mountains, until recent times, there was not a focus on shrimp and grits or any seafood found in the ocean. We had mountain trout.

I’m not certain about this, but in addition to availability I think our ancestry skews more Scotch-Irish, German than English. I’ll have to study on that. Or, if you all know, comment here on the blog.
