12 Bones

If I had a barbecue joint, I would want it to be like 12 Bones, tucked down in the arts warehouse district of Asheville. In a departure from other NC joints, it features both ribs and smoked butts, and the latter are truly pulled, not chopped. The ribs come with a choice of four rub preparations and fell off the bone. The collards were perfect. Also, Diet CheerWine in the fountain. I'm ready to move in.
