Gourmand is a culinary concept born out of the passion for food and wine of its founders, Katie Grabach and Peyton Barrell. Originally based in New Orleans, Gourmand operated as a charcuterie wholesaler, private event company, and exclusive speakeasy, building a strong community of supporters and customers. After a relocation to Asheville, NC, Gourmand is set to bring their love for European products, local produce, and the art of indulgence to the River Arts District. Under the guidance of Chef Peyton Barrell, Gourmand specializes in crafting classic French charcuterie and more, offering a unique dining experience that reflects their dedication to quality and the enjoyment of life's culinary pleasures.Generated from the website
