Mon Dieu, what a feast. I have never eaten at a chef's table but I bet it must be quite an experience. Just to watch the workings of a professional kitchen must be quite an experience. I bet you picked up a trick or two. Asheville has grown so much since I lived in Hendersonville 40 years ago. I hear the restaurants are fantastic. Must make a trip there soon and stop at Rezaz. Love the look of that duck confit.
