Taste Anna Crisp Staff Writer Mad Batter Food and _ Film is the perfect place to find dinner anda - show. The restaurant opened in 1998 and was originally located on the campus of Western Carolina University. . After 15 years on West- . ern Carolinas campus, a fire forced the Mad Batter crew to relocate in November 20138. We choose Sylva because we wanted to . Stay close within the area and saw a great opportunity to provide the community with entertainment as well as dining options, said the restaurants owner, Jeannette Evans. Now, Mad Batter is located in the historic Lyric Theater Building in downtown Sylva. In the two years we've been in Sylva, we've really seen it change and grow, Evans said. There are new businesses, breweries and plenty of opportunities to dine or hang out with friends. Its all in the name: Mad Batter. People can expect excellent food and quality entertain- ment. We have scratch- made foods, friendly service, eclectic and familiar dishes, great value, and free movies every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, said Evans.

The restaurant uses local and organic ingredients, and they locally source their eggs and utilize other local produce when it is available. When I visited Mad Batter, I had the oppor- tunity to try the deli- cious pesto mozzarella melt sandwich. The pesto mozzarella melt has a basil pesto, assorted vegetables, spinach, tomato and mucho mozzarella cheese. This delicious sandwich was refresh- ing the perfect meal for spring and summer evenings. I also had the chance to try the creamy, warm tomato parmesan soup, which is the per- fect meal for any time of the year. My experience eating at Mad Batter had me wanting to come back for more. Everything on the menu is worth trying, from the burg- ers to the calzones to the delicious desserts. Mad Batter also serves vegan and gluten free options.

When I stopped by the restaurant, they were showing the latest Star Wars installment, The Force Awakens, which admittedly was incred- ibly entertaining. When the restaurant shows films, they also serve popcorn for you to eat the movie. Between the delight- ful entertainment, delicious food and wonderful service, Mad Batter has it all.
