Come join us for a fantastic evening at the Stables to support Zillicoah and Gourmand! These two Asheville based family-run businesses lost nearly everything in the floods. Both have New Orleans connections and we're stoked to show the love.

Mark from Open Fire Co and Nathan from Brightside Oysters are joining forces (and pulling in friends) to raise some money for the rebuilds. All profits from the fundraiser will be split equally between the two and hopefully we can get some great donations to add to the support.

Tickets are $85 for 5+ courses with wines for sale by Tell Me Bar (proceeds also going to the cause). We will solidify the menu in the coming days based on what is available.

Click purchase tickets to reserve and we will take payment through cash, venmo or card individually.

After party at the Tell Me Bar!
