"Lucci opened Over Easy cafe on downtown’s Broadway in 2005, serving a combined breakfast and lunch menu seven days a week. Burleson came on one day a week in 2012; as other cooks left, he assumed their shifts until he became executive chef. In that role, he began sourcing more locally and regionally, starting with products from Gaining Ground farmers Anne and Aaron Grier, and Alan Benton’s famed bacon. What had ambled along as a favorite locals hang exploded with Asheville tourism traffic; by 2019, the 42-seat restaurant was seeing two-hour waits even in the middle of the week." - Kay West
