Every once in a while I'll blog about the dining in Waynesville, NC because of how diversified and creative the restaurants are here. Anthony Wayne's, inside the Gateway Club, is another prime example of the outstanding array of choices we have in a small town.
It use to be that the only way you could enjoy this fabulous dining experience was to be a member of the Gateway Club, a former Masonic Lodge. Named for Waynesville’s namesake, Revolutionary hero, General “Mad” Anthony Wayne, the bold and creative upscale menu portrays the personality of the namesake. Now the restaurant has gone public and our guests at our Waynesville, NC bed and breakfast are loving it!
The menu changes every couple of weeks to keep up with the local offerings something we have been seeing more often. The menu takes traditional dishes and transforms them into innovative creations.
When you arrive at our Smoky Mountain bed and breakfast ask us to make a reservation for you. You will come back with a big smile and thumbs up for this dining experience.

Healthy Chili Recipe From Andon-Reid Inn Bed and Breakfas
With winter finally arriving I thought it would be great to share our Waynesville, NC bed and breakfast hearty black bean chili recipe with all of you. I usually make a huge batch and freeze it in portions.
This recipe offers a healthy alternative to the chili's that are out there loaded with fat and sodium. You really need to take the time and read your labels for the amount of sodium in the cans that you buy. There is a big difference with the black beans. For instance one brand contained 1050mg of sodium for the whole can and the brand that I buy has only 380mg of sodium. Canned foods are notorious for having lots of sodium. Another thing to look out for is purchasing ground turkey breast and not ground turkey. Huge difference in the amount of fat and you really can't be sure what parts of the turkey are in the ground turkey, if you know what I mean.
Hearty Black Bean Chili
3 (15-oz.) cans black beans ( purchase the low sodium kind)
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey breast
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14-oz.) can low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 (14.5-oz.) cans petite diced tomatoes with jalapeños
1 cup frozen corn

Haywood Arts Regional Theater, Waynesville, NC
The Haywood Arts Regional Theater, in Waynesville, NC is giving us something to laugh about!
Last season a group of local zanies delighted audiences with their on the spot comedy. They are returning to open The season. If you have never experienced Improv – make it up on the spot – comedy, you are in for a real treat. Quick minds, with a merciless sense of humor, that can get a bit off color, so adult content isn’t planned but it may slip out. Adults $10, Students $6
This will certainly warm you up and keep you smiling in this chilly air. We've got the fireplaces going back at our Smoky Mountain bed and breakfast along with some great conversation!
