INCREDIBLE PEOPLE EVERY DAY. You may have noticed from the cover that this is our 2nd Annual Men's Issue, and as such we have the opportunity to tell the stories of some amazing people who just so happen to posses a Y chromosome. It tells you something about Asheville that all of these guys are thriving here, but in incredibly different ways. Speaking with and interacting with all of them, I started to understand the power of positivity, faith and hard work. It's an honor to tell their stories and to have this platform with which to do it. Thank you so much for reading our magazine and giving us feedback every month. We strive to shine a light on people and experiences that make this town amazing and to entertain and inspire you each month.

CHAAT & THALIS MEHERWAN IRANIâ€™S FAMED INDIAN STREET FOOD AT CHAI PANI

Asheville Lifestyle | June 2018

“CHAI PANI” TRANSLATES LITERALLY TO “TEA AND WATER,” BUT COLLOQUIALLY IT’S THE TREK ONE MAKES FOR A SNACK OR SIP, A CUP OF TEA OR PLATE OF SPICY VITTLES. That’s what you’ll find at downtown’s favored Indian haunt, Chai Pani. Decked in ornaments as colorful as the food on its plates, Chai Pani has become a culinary mainstay for locals and tourists alike since it was opened in 2009 by three-time James Beard nominee Meherwan Irani. Its menu features the stuff of chai pani, “chaat,” savory munchies to prep the palate, as well as thalis, family-style meals rife with color and flavor. "I’ve been in love with food and cooking and restaurants and the entire culture around food pretty much from when I arrived here," says the India native, who found his way to the US via an MBA program in San Francisco. When he arrived in the '90s, it was to a mecca of modern Californian cuisine that awakened his tastebuds. He also likens the emergence of the Food Network to the early days of MTV: "It was so informative for the way Americans think of food," he says with a laugh. But still, he found something lacking in the American food scene: authentic Indian cuisine. The north Indian curry buffets dotted around big cities seemed a muted representative of culinary culture to Irani, who instead sought out quiet hole-in-the-wall chaat houses. Irani moved east with a career in sales, but following the real estate crash in 2008, his wife Molly asked him a simple question: if he weren't tied by responsibility and sensibility, what would he do? The answer was simple: food. "It was one of those 'Eureka' moments, "I sat bolt upright, and the idea for Chai Pani was fully formed in my head." Within 30 minutes, he was showing the menu to Molly. Now he’s able to pursue his passion—food—via a series of restaurants (you’ll find others in Decatur and Atlanta), dishes, and spice mixes like this his Garam Masala (his latest venture includes Spicewalla Brand, a fresh, small-batch spice company).

MEHERWAN’S GARAM MASALA INGREDIENTS + 4 cinnamon sticks + 6 cloves + 1 T cumin seeds + 1 T green cardamon + 1 T black peppercorns + 4 star anise pods

INSTRUCTIONS Toast in a dry skillet/pan on medium heat until spices are warm to the touch and you can smell the distinctive fragrance of the roasted spices. Cool and grind coarsely in a coffee grinder.

“Garam Masala goes well with dark leafy green braises and with meat dishes. At Chai Pani, we use it as a last minute addition to our Saag Paneer & Butter Chicken,” Irani says of the spices. “It’s typically used as a finishing spice to add aromatics to the dish in the last stage of cooking. It’s a useful addition to your home kitchen, as well, as he points out: “At home I’d recommend using it in a beef or vegetable stew, any kind of chickpea or lentil soup or stew, chilis, roasted shoulder or leg of lamb, and even when cooking rice (add a pinch to the water to infuse the rice with fragrance).”

“It actually takes a lot of calculation as far as timing, understanding budget analysis, and understanding different people,” he argues. “I made something from nothing in these so-called ‘sexy’ industries, not because I had anything, but because I cared.” He cared about the details, the final product, and the emotions he evoked enough to make it. Now he’s paving the way for the next generation. He’s producing a web series for the NC School of Science and Math (his alma mater) as they create a new western campus, he's on the Board of the YMI, and he collaborates with local, youthful artists: “No matter how busy, I schedule time to work with them because I care about the quality of visual content in Asheville.”

t h e o pt i m i st Kenny Capps Founder, Throwing Bones for a Cure, Inc.

WHEN KENNY CAPPS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYELOMA, HE DIDN’T LET IT SLOW HIM DOWN. The local (and we mean local— his ancestors have been in WNC since the late 1700s) founded Throwing Bones for a Cure, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to helping find a cure for cancer. This spring, Capps took off on a 1,175-mile run of the Mountains to Sea Trail in support of Throwing Bones for a Cure, an incredible support crew at his side. When he’s not running for a cure, Capps supports Asheville’s blooming art scene; his wife, Murphy Capps, even founded Asheville’s Front Porch Theater. When asked if he had any advice for local aspirational men, Capps offered an eloquent assertion: “Make decisions that positively impact individuals in our community. Don't think of it as good karma. It's a good investment on making sure we have a great world.” Photography Fred McCormick 20

the entrepreneur Chad Slagle Co-Founder RAS - Rapid Whiskey Aging Technology CHAD SLAGLE IS THE EPITOME OF AN ENTREPRENEUR. The co-mastermind behind Climax Wood-Fired Whiskey has never had a boss. Instead, he chose a path of startups and inventions. “My business partner [Keith Mort] and myself (we have been best friends since high school) created a technology that ages whiskey, rum, bourbon, etc. in less than a day, compared to the traditional 5-7 years in a barrel. We get a chance to work together, create new technology, and of course drink whiskey—what is there not to like about this?!” he said with a grin. It’s just the latest in a string of entrepreneurial endeavors for Slagle, who also helped found Hatch AVL, a non-profit foundation for high-growth startups. Even in light of his abounding success in business, his greatest triumph is a personal one: “My biggest accomplishment has definitely been marrying my best friend.” June 2018 | Asheville Lifestyle

GREAT DRIVES TO LONG DRIVES THE BEST COURSES IN THE REGION AND THE CARS TO GET THERE ARTICLE WESLEY BROWN & AUSTIN BENNETT PHOTOGRAPHY EVAN ANDERSON

Asheville Lifestyle | June 2018

YOU COULD DRIVE UP THE PARKWAY OR DOWN THE INTERSTATE, PARK AT A PULL-OFF, AND DRINK IN VIEWS THAT WOULD MAKE THE REST OF THE STATE JEALOUS. But if you want to make the most of our mountains, if you want to watch them spread before you in a gradient of greens, if you want to feel the gentle break of manicured grass beneath your feet and breathe in the humid air of a midsummer morning, if you want it all, then your drive must culminate in one of the region’s revered golf courses. Gentlemen of the mountains and foothills have long recognized that our local sights are best appreciated from one of these hailed courses, club in hand, and it’s time for you to share the heritage of the men who came before you. Travel southwest to Bear Lake, east to Bald Mountain, or due south to The Cliffs at Walnut Cove— wherever you end up, you’re promised roaming, picturesque courses with miles of sightline. Just as important as the course you visit is the car that gets you there, so we’ve helped you find those, too. Whether you’re looking for sleek practicality or purring sport, you’ll arrive in style. Buckle up and brace your back swing—it’s gonna be a long, hot summer.

GREAT DRIVES TO LONG DRIVES

(CON TI N UED)

/// 01

THE CLIFFS AT WALNUT COVE Jack Nicklaus, who designed this par 71 course, described it beautifully: “Walnut Cove provides an extraordinary natural setting for golf. Areas on this course make you feel as if you are playing through a national forest.” The front nine holes, set on former farmlands, offer soft ridges and rewarding bunkers, while the back nine dip into native woodlands and over mountain streams. cliffsliving.com

/// 02

MASERATI GHIBLI I've driven some nice cars before, but I've never had people come up to the car and say "whoa!" I'm starting to think Maserati is an Italian word for "sexy-fast-zoom," or something along those lines. Such a responsive ride, and the lines of this car will make you feel like Sophia Loren is sitting in the passenger seat with you.

/// 03

BEAR LAKE GOLF CLUB If you’re looking for a quick game with stunning views, veer southwest to Bear Lake Reserve and the Bear Lake Golf Club. This nine-hole, par 29 course—another Nicklaus design—casts subtle, dipping greens across the mountain’s summit, and you can practice your swing at the on-site driving range and putting green. bearlakereserve.com

/// 04 VOLVO XC40

The new compact crossover from Volvo is great for winding mountain roads with all-wheel drive and active lane assist. The ride is smooth and the acceleration is surprisingly punchy when you need it. Combine that with an aggressive front profile and it makes for a great ride. 26
