Post #2 - December 13th, 2007, 10:07 amWhen I was there last summer, there was a bunch of BBQ being sold right in the street. I had just had lunch before discovering this, so I didn't partake, but it sure looked and smelled good!

Post #4 - December 22nd, 2007, 11:20 amI lived in Asheville '03 to '06 and it's an awesome little city in the most beautiful mountains.
As for BBQ, there are a few joints here and there, but 12 Bones seems to be the "top spot" in town. The other favorite is Ed Boudreaux's which is centrally located downtown.
You can also check out Mountain Xpress which is the free weekly there. They have a pretty good dining guide.
Have fun!- Mark

Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

Post #6 - December 24th, 2007, 3:05 pmAsheville is not really in the BBQ zones of Carolina (tomato - in the piedmont, vinegar near the coast, mustard toward the south). I have not eaten in any of the spots mentioned, so I can't speak to their quality, although they seem fairly upscale. The culinary treat in Western Carolina is mountain trout. I doubt that you will find anything like Lexington BBQ or Allen's in Asheville.
Asheville is a lovely small city: go to the Biltmore House and the crafts shops in the area (Blue Spiral, for one) or the shop of the Southern Mountains Crafts Council.

Post #7 - December 25th, 2007, 12:31 pmyes, GAF is right about that, the mountain trout is friggin' awesome. Seek out Sunburst, they are the best. The trout filets are bright orange, like salmon. Sooooo good, and definitely makes me pine for those mountains.- Mark

Post #8 - December 25th, 2007, 1:02 pmI had the mountain trout here back in September of 2006 - http://www.thelobstertrap.biz/ It looks like they've changed the flavors a bit - the version I had was with hazelnuts and rosemary and was excellent. It's a little pricy but service was good and we enjoyed the live music and lively atmosphere. We also had a very nice lunch here - http://www.tupelohoneycafe.com/about.htm
Enjoy your trip! Lynn
