Tori Frasher, owner and operator of The Market by Sage & Spice, is a Greenville, S.C. native who immediately fell in love with the beauty, hospitality, and culinary offerings she found upon her first visits to Asheville. After graduating from Furman University and a brief career in automotive marketing and sales, she moved to Asheville to pursue a career in international food, culture, and event planning. This pursuit led to the creation of Sage & Spice Catering, one of the premier catering and event management companies in Western North Carolina, in 2019 to focus on weddings, large gatherings, holiday events, and corporate functions in conjunction with Executive Chef Sergio Castro, formerly of Conosur Restaurant, and Chef Amanda Delgado. “Growing up in a large Lebanese family, my grandmother and great-grandmother taught me how important food can be to family and as a love language. I’m so happy that I can bring those lessons, our professional catering expertise and talents, and a wide array of local and international vendors together in one place – The Market by Sage & Spice.”, said Frasher. Executive Chef Sergio Castro’s culinary journey began over 30 years ago in Peruvian kitchens. Since then, Sergio has served in executive culinary positions at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center in Florida, Burlington Marriott in Boston, N.C., and Champion Hills Country Club in Hendersonville, N.C. Most recently, Sergio opened and operated Conosur in Mills River, N.C. for five years before joining The Market by Sage & Spice team. “When the offer appeared to own a restaurant and market in Asheville with Tori, I jumped at the opportunity. This new location and venture will allow me to continue crafting my passion for food and creating culinary experiences while also expanding our catering business and being a part of the Asheville food and business community.”, said Castro.

Altars & Procession
Everyone attending the event is invited to bring a picture of a loved one, leave a prayer or an offering to place on the altars to honor those who have given us strength and love. We will have one altar for family and friends and one altar for pets. And there will be a candlelight procession at sunset honoring our Beloved Deceased.
Entertainment
Asheville is fortunate to have a local WNC Mexican organized cultural youth organization from the Emma area of West Asheville. The name of this performance troupe is Raices. Raices’ mission is to strengthen the cultural indigenous identity and traditions of US born children of Mexican descent, particularly of Hidalgo, Mexico. This area of Mexico is strongly represented in Asheville. These indigenous traditions and language of Otomi are slowly getting lost on their children growing up in modern American culture.
Therefore, Raices’ goal is to bring a positive influence in their children’s lives through the dance, art, and culture of Latin America. Composed of twenty 12–22-year-old youth, they will grace our Day of Dead fundraiser event in person with vibrant costumes and traditional Chiapan and Sinaloan dances.
