At the Battle Square end of Grove Arcade's northern corridor, the Big Cheese (828-350-8044) is a terrific source of gourmet goodies - not just artisan cheese but charcuterie, locals honey and jam, ethnic foods, and pretty much anything you could want to pack a picnic for a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or perhaps a lawn near the Biltmore Estate.
