ASHEVILLE, N.C., Aug. 2, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — While it may not happen all the time, there have been several instances when Cottage Cooking, a cooking class business in Asheville, North Carolina, has guests who are treated to a real show. Most recently, a family of four bears – a mama and her three teenagers – decided to take a long family nap in the business’ backyard.

“We like to joke that we have some of the best trash on the street,” John Godts, co-owner, Cottage Cooking, says. “Our ‘Elegant Evening Out’ class is one of the bears’ favorite times to visit as salmon is the main course.”
Cottage Cooking has been in business for more than nine years and it enjoys a variety of guests – both tourists and locals alike. The business offers about 20 different menus from which to choose and many are “bear-friendly.”
Liisa Andreassen, Cottage Cooking’s other owner, says the bears also like to sniff around after the New Orleans’ jambalaya class.
“Apparently, those shrimp shells are quite irresistible,” she says.
The couple has managed to bearproof their cans and it works – for the most part. Occasionally, the bears do manage to team up and get their paws on something tasty. And after a nibble, they like to take a little nap.

“Our guests love the unusual dimension that our Asheville bears bring to the cooking class activities – as long as they eat inside,” she laughs. “The guests that is!”
