Coach’s article was great, but let’s clarify

To the Editor:

First, and foremost, I want to thank you for the article in The Smoky Mountain News, your May 27 edition on page 10, regarding the new bistro opening in Dillsboro.

Please allow me to make a few corrections that I feel necessary. The title was “Greek Bistro opens in Dillsboro;” my preference would be “A New Bistro in Town. ” I am uncomfortable with the title Greek Bistro. Our bistro is not exclusive to Greek dishes.

The first line, “A taste of Greece arrived in Dillsboro last week with the opening of Coach’s,” is incorrect. Dillsboro has had for 15 years a family owned Greek restaurant, Kostas, just across the street and has served some outstanding dishes for many years with many happy clients, one of those being myself, and other members of my staff at the Jarrett House and Coach’s.
