All Day Darling

All Day Darling is a neighborhood eatery in historic Montford, Asheville, open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and operated by the Perfectly Ad Hoc hospitality group. Its beverage program is driven by Counter Culture coffee and complemented by house tonics, signature cocktails, draft wines and craft beers. The team highlights homemade gluten-free bread produced in the same kitchen as gluten-containing bread and a fryer cooked in canola oil that is entirely gluten-free. The restaurant has been featured in local and regional press. Laidback, friendly and casual, the venue offers indoor seating and an alfresco patio where guests can warm up with coffee inside or dine outdoors in a walkable neighborhood setting close to downtown Asheville. Market-focused New American fare is served all day with seasonal, ingredient-driven dishes that include breakfast items, bowls, salads, sandwiches, toasts, hearty plates and rotating dinner specials and pop-ups. Fresh daily baked goods figure prominently; many bowls arrive with warm kale and bamboo rice and preparations emphasize an approachable, ingredient-forward sensibility. Jacob Sessoms is the chef and a two-time James Beard Award nominee. Specialties include Fried Chicken Biscuit, Darling Burger, Shakshuka, GF Darling Pancakes, Thunderbowl (GF fried chicken bowl) and Lox Plate.
