I am planning a trip in June and will be in western North Carolina southwest of Ashville and was wondering if there were any BBQ places you could reccommend?
If you are in the Franklin, NC area (about 50 miles WSW from Asheville) you definitely need to check out "Fat Buddies Ribs and Barbecue". There is also a "Fat Buddies" in Waynesville (about 25 miles west of Asheville).
GREAT food and lots of it for not too bad a price!
If you get a bit more specific on where you might be, I could be more specific on BBQ in the area.
