Our Showroom
Serving Asheville, North Carolina and the surrounding area we are located in the growing town of Hendersonville. Asheville is now known as beer city USA, and easily becoming a stop on any gourmand’s shortlist. The beer, food and art scene is creeping into Hendersonville and the design district seemed like a natural move from Asheville’s now overgrown River Arts District. Because we specialize in several areas of the food world, our appliance sales showroom is open by appointment only, but we will do our best to accommodate your schedule. Our showroom is small by design, not wasting resources on a large space with a sales staff that end up being paid for by little add-ons and mark-ups on your bill. This also keeps us from having to push what’s on our floor. We strive to find out what is best for you and help those appliances find their way to your kitchen. Come make an appointment with us, but leave time to visit the bakery, brewery, Brandy bar and other places popping up all in walking distance of our shop.
We strive to supply you with the knowledge to help you become a better chef and the equipment that will make you enjoy the journey.
Chefcargo is the brainchild of Chef Matt DeRobertis (Chef DeRo). It has evolved and grown since its inception shortly after he finished culinary school.

Our Services
Appliance Sales
We specialize in sales of the legendary AGA. Working with AGA for nearly twenty years, there are not many who have the background and knowledge we do. We provide clients with not only sales, but informative consulting on AGA purchases for their full line of products from refrigeration to a traditional cooker. In addition, we specialize in other great lines such as Heartland, Marvel, and Bertazzoni. We even occasionally have some used AGA’s available. See our Appliances page for details and a full list of our offered appliances.
The AGA Cooking School
Our AGA Cooking School is the only school outside of the UK that teaches you how best to understand, use, and enjoy your AGA Cooker. In addition to our AGA cooking school, we also offer tailored classes on the AGA for those with specific needs or have already been through our school. See our Classes page for details.
