Food Scene
Obama's favorite BBQ is right downhill on Sweeten Creek Road. Blueberry ribs, BLT, side plate...it's hard to go wrong. It's a lunch place (take-out only after 4pm, and they close at 6). South location closed Sun & Mon!

Incredible nouveau Lebanese cafe close to West Asheville, River Arts District, and Downtown. Owner Suzy Phillips single-handedly reformed Asheville's food truck prohibitions before opening up her own storefront. Her truck ("Spartacus") still roves around town during the warmer months.
