Give your belly a voice

Whether you prefer to nibble tapas at Cúrate or sink your teeth into a burrito at Mamacita's, it's probably clear to you that Asheville is the tastiest town in the South.

Now, the restaurants you love need your help. Spread the word about their greatness; vote in Southern Living's The South's Tastiest Town poll. The winner’s ragging rights will be pretty powerful: Durham, Charleston, Atlanta, Austin, Memphis, Miami and New Orleans are also in the running.

To celebrate the contest,Jacob Sessoms of Table and Brian Canipelli of Cucina24 are traveling to Durham — for a collaborative dinner. Along with four Durham chefs, the pair will create a dinner at Four Square on Sunday, Feb. 24.

For more information about the meal, call Four Square at 919-401-9877.
