"A trip to Palacio for any local will feel like a food version of It's a Wonderful Life. Watch the emotion wash over their face as they stroll past the cafeteria-style selection of Latin staples, witnessing a real-time highlight reel of all the foods they’ve loved in life, and then revel in the horror that takes over their expression as they contemplate life without them. No more vaca frita? Or liquid forms of mamey? Feel free to work in a Jimmy Stewart impression as you remind them that these things aren’t readily available in Asheville." - ryan pfeffer
