Ukuhamba kwam ebhankini eCharlotte, utshilo uDiane Flynt, egadula igadi yakhe yasemantla enxibe ii-clogs, ijean yoyilo, kunye neblawuzi emhlophe engenachaphaza, bendifuna ukuba umsebenzi wam wokugqibela ndisebenze kunye nomhlaba-ndingumlimi okhutheleyo, kwaye njengokwenza izinto. Ilanga laliphantsi, likhazimla ngokugqobhoza amagqabi emithi yepippin, kwaye besifunda ukuba uFlynt unomdla wokuthathelwa phantsi. Kwigig yakhe yokuthatha umhlala-phantsi, wagqibela ngokutyala igadi-ngaphezulu kwewaka lemithi ye-apile ehlala ngaphezulu kwe-25 yeehektare ezineenduli eDugspur, eVirginia. Kwaye izinto awathi wagqiba ukuzenza kubo, yakuba nje imithi ivelise iziqhamo- nasemva kokuba ehambile waya eNgilane ukuya kufunda ngokudibanisa kunye nokubila ijusi yeapile- ziiFoggy Ridge Cider, iindlela ezine zohlobo ababesela ngalo abahlali bokuqala iilitha, kodwa esele ilahlekile kwiitafile zesizwe zokutya.

Ii-cider ezinzima zikaFlynt zifanelwe ukunxila ngesidlo sangokuhlwa. Enobunkunkqele kwaye bomile, bumuncu i-asidi eneziqhamo ezingaphantsi, zifana nomoya opholileyo osencochoyini yentaba onika intwasahlobo. Saqala ukuwawela eLantern, eChapel Hill, enye yeendawo zokutyela eMantla Carolina naseVirginia ezinikezela ngeFoggy Ridge. Senza inqaku lokutyelela igadi yeziqhamo ukuba sikhe saba kwiinduli zeBlue Ridge eVirginia.

Emva koko, emva kweveki, umhlobo waseNew York usixelele ngeshizi etshintsha ubomi ayingcamle ePer Se ukuba umpheki uThomas Keller uvela kwimveliso yobisi encinci yaseVirginia ebizwa ngokuba yiMeadow Creek, kufutshane neBlue Ridge Parkway.

Ngexesha elifanayo, seva malunga nomhlobo wethu wakudala uHaden Polseno-Hensley. Unyana wabumbi, uHaden wakhulela eFloyd, eVirginia, eBerkeley yaseBlue Ridge, apho babuyela khona abantu, amagcisa, neemvumi bahlala ngoo-1960 kunye nama-70. Ngoku, usixelele, sele eza kuvula ikofu yokuqala kaFloyd, kwaye ukuba sifike edolophini, angasibonisa indawo yokuthengisa utshwala yommelwane wakhe kwaye asazise kubahlobo bethu ababesenza ipitsa ye-Neapolitan yohlobo lwe-organic emthini. -I-oveni ecinyiweyo ibekwe ebhedini yelori yakwaFord.

IBlue Ridge ngokucacileyo yayisibiza. Ukusebenza kokutya okuncinci ngokujonga indawo kunye nokuphakama, umoya we-indie waqhekeka kuyo yonke indawo, abanye ukuya kudumo lwesizwe. Kwaye kwabonakala kuqapheleka ukuba le mikoko yenkcubeko yokutya yendawo yayihlanganiswe ecaleni kwendlela eqingqiweyo yenye yezona zikhulu zikarhulumente ezixhaswe ngurhulumente kule nkulungwane yama-20.

IBlue Ridge Parkway-engama-469 eemayile zendlela ezimbini ezihamba ukusuka eShenandoah National Park eVirginia ukuya kwiiNtaba zeSizwe eziPhezulu eziTshayayo eMantla e-Carolina-igqiba iminyaka engama-77 kule Septemba. Kunzima ngoku ukuqonda ukuba yayiyimpikiswano kangakanani le projekthi xa yayikhanyiselwa luhlaza yi-FDR's Public Works Administration ngo-1933. Isindululo sabeka uqhankqalazo lwabahlali basezintabeni, uninzi lwabo olwalunyanzelwe ukuba luthengise umhlaba walo koorhulumente bamazwe. Kodwa ulwakhiwo lwaqhubeka njengokucwangcisiweyo, icandelo lokuqala laqala ngo-1935. Kwisithuba seminyaka elishumi, isibini esithathwini sendlela sagqitywa.

Into malunga nepaki yoloyiso evela kwixesha lokwehla kwamandla emali kunye nenkuthazo enkulu yoluntu yabonakala ngathi iyindawo efanelekileyo. Kwaye sasinomdla wokwazi ukuba kunjani ukuhamba-kunye nokutya-kwindlela namhlanje.

Uhambo lwethu lwaqala eStaunton, eVirginia, kwintshona yeMilepost Zero, indlela yomgaqo iBlue Ridge Parkway. UStaunton waziwa njenge-mecca yabathandi bokutya. Umntu odumileyo edolophini nguJoel Salatin, umfama osapho lusebenze iPolyface Farm ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-50 kwaye ohlonitshwayo phakathi kwendawo ekumiselwe kuyo iincwadi ezinobuqili zasefama njenge Yonke into endifuna ukuyenza ayikho semthethweni: Amabali eMfazwe avela kwiNdawo yokutya yaseKhaya. I-Salatin yayingumntu ophambili kuxwebhu Ukutya, Inc., Apho wabonakala njengo-David-down-to-world David lobbing hilarious-common zingers in the Goliaths of corporate corporate Agriculture.

Sibuze uSalatin ukuba ngaba uzobe naluphi na unxibelelwano phakathi kwenkcubeko yemveli yeBlue Ridge kunye nentshukumo yangoku yeefama ukuya kwimfoloko. Uye waphawula, embindini, isigqebelo esingaqhelekanga: Rhoqo intshukumo yokutya okuzinzileyo ibonwa njengale yuppie yedolophu, utshilo. Kodwa ukubetha ngompu, ukunkonkxa, ukukhenkceza abantu basezintabeni okunene kuyimizekelo yokucacisa ukuba le ntshukumo intsha yokutya yeGucci icinga ngayo. Kubantu basezintabeni, yayingengombono-yayikukusinda, kuba babengenamali!

EZynodoa, edolophini eStaunton, sazibonela ngawethu ukupheka kukaJames Harris ekuphekeni intuthuzelo yentaba, efumana izithako zasekuhlaleni ezidlala ingoma yesiFrentshi: i-mousse yenkuku yesibindi (isibindi esivela kwifama yaseSalatin), enencasa, enencasa, kunye neekona kunye I-baguette evela eCharlottesville's Albemarle Baking Co. Ezinye izitya zibetha impempe u-Dixie: I-Wade's Mill grits (emhlabeni nge-circa-1750 mill, i-20 yeekhilomitha ezantsi) kunye nepelepele emnyama kunye ne-cream cream kunye ne-braised collard imifuno ihamba ne-scallops-iloli ngaloo ntsasa ukusuka eChesapeake Bay -Kunxitywe i-red-eye gravy.

UHarris wakhulela eSan Diego kwaye wasebenza eVirginia's Inn e-Little Washington nasemakhitshini eDallas nasePennsylvania ngaphambi kokufudukela apha kwincam yomhlobo wompheki. UStaunton uyamangalisa, utshilo. Kufana nomntu owe ilali yaseDickensian phakathi eVirginia. Kwaye ndibeka umgangatho wemveliso apha ngokuchasene nayo nayiphi na enye indawo eMelika. Zininzi kakhulu ii-microclimates zokuba ungakhulisa uluhlu lwezinto eziphambeneyo: isafron, amakhiwane, igalikhi, kunye ne-kiwis!

Ngentsasa elandelayo, sabona oko kwakuthethwa nguHarris ngee-microclimates. Kwi-Milepost Zero, apho sithathe khona iifoto zethu phambi kwe-retro-epholileyo engena kumqondiso weBlue Ridge Parkway, yayingama-83 degrees kwaye inyuka. Iifestile zemoto bezivalwe ngokuqinileyo kwaye i-AC ivuliwe. Ngexesha esenyuka ngalo sisiya kwi-Milepost 18 -sasigqithe isithuthi esinye kuphela, isithuthuthu, indlela yonke-ubushushu behlile baba ngama-67 apholileyo, i-sunroof yayivuliwe, kwaye uDel McCoury wayebamba IBluegrass Junction Kwi-Sirius XM, ejikeleza iiLonesome Road Blues, nguBill Monroe. Amagqabi kuloo nduli ayengekakhuli, phantse agqithise, kwaye ilanga lajika amagqabi aluhlaza, ohlaza ngombane.

Kungumceli mngeni ukubeka amagama kwiimvakalelo zokuqhuba ecaleni kwepaki, kunye nembonakalo yayo ejonge zonke iikhilomitha ezimbalwa. Ukukhwela phakathi kwamafu kuza engqondweni, kwaye kuyalingwa ukujonga indlela njengesiqwengana se-macadam esibethelelwe ezantsi kwindledlana yomgaqo ococekileyo. Kodwa enyanisweni, amagophe endlela kunye negradients, idrama ebonakalayo yonyawo ngalunye olunemigca, yayingumbono wangabom womyili wayo womhlaba, uStanley W. Abbott, owafumana lo msebenzi xa wayeneminyaka engama-25 kuphela ubudala. Kudliwanondlebe, uthelekise umsebenzi wakhe nokwenza ifilimu, ukubalisa amabali kunye nokupeyinta. Andikwazi ukucinga ngomsebenzi wokuyila ngaphezu kokufumana iBlue Ridge Parkway, utshilo u-Abbott kwimbali yomlomo ukusuka kwi-1958, kuba ubusebenza nge-canvas yeligi elishumi kunye nebrashi yomsila we-comet. I-Moss kunye ne-lichen eqokelelwe kuphahla olushukumayo lweMabery Mill elinganiswa ngokuchasene neepanorama ezinkulu ezijongeka ngonaphakade.

Nanamhlanje awukwazi ukukunceda ukucinga, njengoko ugxila kwijometri efanelekileyo yocingo lwesithuba, malunga nobugcisa bepaki. Ukuthelekiswa kwe-cinema kubonakala kwangoko, kwisantya esingaguquguqukiyo (umda wesantya ziimayile ezingama-45 ngeyure kunye nobude bayo obuninzi), oonogada abagudileyo kumda wombono wakho, ukubuya kwemixholo ethile (imiwonyo; iRhododendrons; ilitye lesquat Iindawo zokuhlala), kunye noqhushumbo olubanzi lwee-vistas zalo. Yonke into ibamba ngokubonakalayo kangangokuba abanye batyhola u-Abbott ngokugqitha kwiseti yakhe.

Nokuba yeyiphi na imiba yezi ntaba i-Abbott inokuba ishukume, kusekho ubunyani, ubunyani bendawo. Intaba iApple Orchard, eyona ndawo iphakame ecaleni kwepaki kwii-3 950 iinyawo, ayihlalwa yimithi yama-apile kodwa ihlathi le-oki ebomvu-kuba ikhephu kunye nomoya ongayekeleliyo okuthintele ukukhula kwazo-kubonakala ngathi kuthenwa imithi yeziqhamo. Yindawo enomtsalane, iphantse yangathi yintlango, kwaye konke okunomdla ngakumbi kukuba nje iikhilomitha ezili-10 umva, sasiqhuba kwihlathi elizolileyo, elinepine, linerobhothi etyebileyo ejinga ezantsi kwifestile yomoya.

Ixabiso lobuhle bepaki lifika kwisiqabu esipheleleyo xa usishiya kwaye wehla waya kwindawo enjengeNdalo yeNdalo, eVirginia, apho iCathedral yeNdalo-indawo enkulu enkulu yokuqhekeka kwelitye -ye yaguqulwa yenziwa indawo yokungcangcazelisa yokupaka kunye neeDumpsters zokutyela. Abamelwane baziguqulele iipropathi zabo zaba zizinto ezinomtsalane kubakhenkethi: Ubumnandi benkcubeko yesitudiyo senqaba! Ipaki yaseVirginia safari! Foamhenge!

Kodwa kwangoko satsaleleka eLayne’s Country Store, indawo yokuma engcwabeni esecaleni kwendlela emisa imiqondiso epeyintwe ngesandla. Ngaphakathi, uMike Layne, oqhuba indawo ukusukela ngo-1954, wayenyamezele ubushushu basemini emaqanda. Akukho moya-moya, ubonakala uhambelana nendalo endala yezinto ezininzi zeempahla ezinikezelwayo: izinto ezenziwa kwalapha ekhaya, ibhakoni ephilisiweyo, iham yelizwe, iilekese zepenny. (Kukho, nangona kunjalo, ifriji esexesheni enezinto zakutshanje kwiziselo ezinxilisayo.) Sathenga ibhakoni, uLayne walisikela ukuze a-odole; ilizwe eliphilisiweyo, elitshaywayo ham; Kunye nophawu lweBudweiser kunye neClamato michelada. Silayishe imoto, sacinga, Ngaba eli lizwe liyamangalisa okanye yintoni?

Yintoni ebonakalayo, ukutya kwidolophu ngeedolophu ecaleni kwepaki, zininzi iindlela zokupheka ezivela kukuzinikela kwendawo. Ngaba ucinga ukuba ubudikwa kukutsha-kwendawo? Yiya kwiBlue Ridge ngombono omtsha, kwaye wonwabe kwinto yokuba ummandla omnye unokukhuthaza ukutolikwa kokutya okuninzi. Kwi-Admiral, e-Asheville, North Carolina, i-cinderblock dive ekhanyiswe yiflickery, umabonakude wexesha elidala eludongeni, ikhitshi lifumana inyama yayo etyiswe ingca kunye nesisu sehagu esivela kumvelisi we-stellar Hickory Nut Gap Farm, iirampu zayo kunye amakhowa avela kubahlobo ababengabaxhamli. Kodwa apha, zisisiseko sokudlala, isoyikiso-silinge sithi sihle? -Kutya ukuba ezi zibini zalungisa iscallops ngebhotolo enefutha emdaka, ukutshaya amatswele eVidalia, kunye nenkaba yokuphakama kweorenji. Ukupheka kwendawo apha akuthinteli ukukhanya kwe ISriracha kunye nedashi kunye ne-almond yesiqhelo yeMarcona ekwenzeni ukubonakala. (Kwimimoya ye-dive bar bar, i-PBR ifumana indlela eya kumhluzi we-mussel.)

Xa sasihamba ngenqwelomoya saya eFloyd saza sadibana nomhlobo wethu uHaden, wasixelela ukuba abantu baseDocktown Pizza Truck bakwi-hiatus emfutshane. Kodwa mhlawumbi oko kwakungcono; Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kwakungoLwesihlanu ebusuku eFloyd, xa ukutya kudlala ifiddle yesibini, ngokungathi kunjalo, kumculo.

Ingokuhlwa kugxilwe kulungelelwaniso lweebhendi ezidlala iVenkile yelizwe iFloyd-iti eyenziwe ngetini kunye nomthombo wesoda eneqonga ngasemva. Ukufika kwethu, i-headliner, i-Lone Ivy String Band, yayinzulu kwiseti yayo, izibini zigcwele kumgangatho wokudanisa onxibe kakuhle. Kodwa okuchukumisa nangakumbi yayikukubona ngaphandle: phezulu nasezantsi kwiSitalato seenkumbi zaseZantsi yayiziiseshoni zejem ezingathandekiyo — ingxinano yeemvumi ezazichola kwaye ziqengqeleka elangeni.

Ngaphambi kweFloyd Barber Shop kwakudlala iquartet: abafana ababini abadala, omnye kwi-banjo, omnye kwi-Dobro; kunye nolutsha olufikisayo, kwi-mandolin nakwii-bass ezimileyo. Umdlali wesihlanu wema ecaleni, ebetha u-1922 S. S. Stewart banjo. Wabona ukuba sasintsha kwindawo leyo kwaye waqalisa incoko, nangona wayedlala, ephosa amehlo kwiqela eliphambili rhoqo. Igama lakhe lalinguWoody Gaskins; Usebenze njengokhemesti eWalmart, kwaye ebesiza ngolwesiHlanu ebusuku eFloyd kangangeminyaka engama-20, ngamanye amaxesha enekatala, ngamanye amaxesha ibanjo, utshilo. Into esiyidlalayo apha ibizwa ngokuba 'lixesha lakudala.' Uyabona, kukho 'ibluegrass' kwaye ke kukho 'ixesha lakudala.' Abantu beBluegrass bancinci kancinci kwi-avareji, bathanda ukusebenzisa isandisi-lizwi esincinci. Ndiyabathanda bobabini, kodwa uyakubona abantu abaluhlaza benyusa iimpumlo zabo 'ngexesha lakudala' kwaye ngokuchaseneyo.

Sasiyazi into awayeyithetha. Kwangoko kuhambo sasimise kwenye indawo yomculo wasentsomini, iRex Theatre, eGalax, ukubamba imvuselelo yeOld Oak, iqela eliselula, eliqengqelekayo le-bluegrass elalisuka kwindawo yase-Asheville. Kwimizuzu nje emibini bethathe iqonga, iipesenti ezili-10 zesihlwele saphakama sahamba. Uhamba kungekudala? othatha itikiti obuzayo ubuze esinye isibini.

Ayisiyo isitayile sethu-i-bass zombane kunye nayo yonke, yaphendula le ndoda, ihleka kwaye ikhokelela iqabane layo emnyango. Kubonakala ngathi kukho ukufana phakathi komculo kunye nokutya ecaleni kwepaki: eyona mithombo iphambili inokukhuthaza ukutolikwa okungafaniyo, kunye nabaphulaphuli bethatha icala elicacileyo.

Ukutyhubela iminyaka, ipaki iye yadlala indima ebonakalayo ekugcineni ukutya kwesintu kunye nomculo. KwiMilepost 213, kufutshane neGalax, samisa kwiziko lomculo iBlue Ridge, imyuziyam esecaleni kwendlela kunye nendawo yemidlalo yeqonga elawulwa yiNational Park Service. Ngaphakathi, umgcini wepaki u-Anita Scott wayexhwitha imitya ye-Appalachian dulcimer kwiqela leendwendwe. Isandi besikhathaza. Ucacise ukuba isixhobo sakhe senziwe ngetsheri, kunye nezikhonkwane zokulungisa ubhedu, kwaye lonke ukhetho lwezixhobo kulwakhiwo luya kuchaphazela ubume bayo kunye nokugcina.

Ezantsi kwendlela eDoughton Park, sidibene neBluffs Coffee Shop, enye yeendawo zokutyela ezine zepaki zeNPS. Indawo yokulala eneemithi ikhuphe iintlobo zokutya ekunokwenzeka ukuba wayehamba ngazo kwiBlue Ridge Parkway kwisiqingatha senkulungwane eyadlulayo. (Sasingazi ukuba iiBluffs ngokwazo zazifuna ukugcinwa - kwakamsinya emva kotyelelo lwethu, indawo yokutyela yamisa ukusebenza; iNational Park Service ngoku ikhangela umthengi omtsha.) EBluffs, satya inkukhu enye eqhotsiweyo Ndisebenze okoko kwavulwa ngo-1949: isiqingatha sentaka esithathe imizuzu engama-30 nge-odolo nganye. Inkukhu yethu yaziswa etafileni nguEllen Smith, oqale ukusebenza njengeweyitala ngomhla weeBluffs. Sibuze uSmith ukuba ikhona into malunga nemenyu etshintshileyo okoko.

Siphulukene nezinye iidessert, njenge schaum torte, utshilo. Amaqanda amhlophe kunye neepesika ezintsha kunye nekhrimu ebethiweyo. Owu, yayintle kakhulu! Sigqibe kwelokuba sicele iNkonzo yePaki ukuba ibuye nokutya okumnandi, okungasekhoyo kwiivenkile zokutyela ezindala kunye nezidlo.

Ngaphandle kokubuyela umva kweBluffs, umoya wolondolozo-wezikhumbuzo, weendawo, zezityalo-usagcwele kwiBlue Ridge. Ukunyuka intaba ukuya kwiiCraggy Gardens, enye yeendawo eziphakamileyo ezisempuma ye-Mississippi kwii-5,640 iinyawo, satsala iipaki zethu zaqina kwaye sahlala ngokuthe ngqo endleleni. Umqondiso wasilumkisa ukuba kukho iintlobo zezityalo ezisemngciphekweni ezaziwayo ukuba azikho kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwale ndawo.

Sifumene ubungqina obukhuthazayo bemvuselelo kwiKife neFolokhwe, indawo yokutyela esecaleni ejonge isikhululo sikaloliwe kunye nemigca yeempahla eSpruce Pine. Saba ngabokuqala ukubonisa i-brunch, kwaye sayala phantse yonke into kwimenyu, ekhupha isidima ngaphandle kokungcwaliswa: isobho se-nettle ngeoli yeoli yomnquma; isonka esigcadiweyo esineerampu ezisikiweyo, iprosciutto, kunye namaqanda amabini aqaqambileyo anelanga kunye nee yolk ezithambileyo umbala wexolo leorenji. Kwakukho i-redfish ebomvu, emnandi kunye ne-rhubarb eqhotsiweyo, kunye ne-trout eyosiweyo ecekeceke ne-lemony tartar sauce. Kwisiqingatha seyure zonke iipleyiti zazicocekile, kwaye zonke iitafile ezisirhangqileyo zazaliswa.

Umpheki, uNathan Allen, kunye nenkosikazi yakhe, umphathi wangaphambili wendlu uWendy Gardner, basebenze eLos Angeles kwiindawo zokutyela zaseSuzanne Goin eLucques naseAOC ngaphambi kokuba bathathe isigqibo sokufudukela kwidolophu yakuloGardner eBurnsville, eMantla Carolina. Isicwangciso yayikukunciphisa indlela yabo kwindawo yokutya ejikeleze iAsheville. Kodwa kwangoko emva kokubeka unyawo eBurnsville, babona indawo ekhoyo eSpruce Pine. Emva kweentsuku ezintathu, batyikitye isivumelwano sokuqeshisa, kwaye kwiiveki ezine, bayayilungisa indawo, bafaka ikhitshi, bavula i-Knife & Fork. Abazange bajonge ngasemva.

Wonke umntu e-LA uthi bafuna ukuba yifama-etafileni, kodwa kwakungekade kube ukufudukela apha apho sasiqondayo ukuba kuthetha ntoni oko, watsho uAllen. Siza kuchitha imizuzu engamashumi amane anesihlanu sibetha bonke abalimi bethu kwaye sifumana imveliso ethathwa ngaloo ntsasa. Asazi nje amafama ethu, siyabazi bonke abantwana babo kunye nezinja, nazo. Ndicinga ukuba ukubopha ngokusondeleyo kwindawo yokutya akukwazanga ukusukela-yintoni- mhlawumbi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo?
