The takeaway:
The culinary world is far too lacking when it comes to women making their mark, and Asheville is sadly no exception. Girls on Deck is ready to blow that s$#% out of the water with some of the most passionate and creative young women in the industry who are ready to mark their mark, and most importantly, turn the party out. Good food, good drink, good music, and good art, all made by women at MG Road.
