Restaurant – 12 Bones Smokehouse, Asheville, NC
January 2012
Yes, I’d say I’m from North Carolina. We moved to NC when I was 14 from New York state. There were many things to get used to, but one thing I loved immediately was Carolina BBQ with its vinegar sauce, chopped pork and coleslaw on a bun. I don’t know what could be better. So, when I took my boyfriend to 12 Bones in Asheville, NC and he absolutely loved it – I knew I had found a good one. Winning over the president is one thing, but a Frenchman? Yes.
The ribs fell apart, the corn pudding was delicious, the macaroni and cheese hit the spot, they even have a selection of sauces so if you aren’t into the classic vinegar you’re OK. They’re so successful, they only need to be open for lunch!
The setting isn’t bad either – with a creek running down the side, trees over head, and a nice outdoor sitting area to enjoy the NC sunshine.

I tried 12 Bones a few years ago, and wasn’t that impressed. We’re headed to Asheville again next month. Maybe we should try it again!
I hope you do! The ribs are their stong point in my opinion, it will be nice to hear what you think!
Ha.. when you said you knew you’d found a good one i didn’t know if you meant bbq or frenchman … i think you found both ;))
anne, i love the way you write about food, makes me always want to eat what you write about.
except the frenchman, obviously 😉
That was on purpose 😉
thank you so much, and thats probably for the best! xx
This sounds great Anne!!! If I ever get to Ashville I am going there!!! Sooo great to keep in touch with you! Happy Easter!! L
