"A favorite stop for Barack and Michelle Obama during their Asheville visits, 12 Bones has long been a local go-to for barbecue. The hardwood-smoked ribs, with the popular blueberry chipotle, spicy pineapple habanero, or traditional brown sugar sauces, are a top attraction. And many go for the pulled pork, smoked turkey, or epic Hogzilla sandwich (bacon, bratwurst, pulled pork, and pepper jack on a hoagie). But sides, like the corn pudding, jalapeno cheese grits, collard greens, and smoked potato salad, are the sleeper hits." - Gina Smith
