The Spot
All Day Darling is a market-focused neighborhood eatery in Asheville's Montford Area Historic District, run by chef Jacob Sessoms, a two-time James Beard Award nominee. The menu runs all day, from breakfast plates to sandwiches and burgers, with a fair amount made in house: sourdough and gluten-free bread baked on site, along with house tonics, aioli, and kraut.

Breakfast options include The Standard, a fried egg sandwich with cheddar and herb mayo, and shakshuka with poached eggs, kale, and feta. Later in the day, the Darling Burger comes with Chop Shop beef, caramelized onions, and house aioli, while the Thunderbird pairs fried chicken with harissa aioli and fermented vegetables on a Hawaiian roll. Coffee comes from Counter Culture, and baked goods are made fresh daily.

Michelin selected All Day Darling for its 2025 guide.
