Everyone knows the best, lip-smacking BBQ in the country is found right here in the Tar Heel State. And while we all have a favorite spot that we’re super loyal to, we’re still willing to hit the road to try someone else’s head-turning creations when BBQ is involved.

If mouthwatering ribs are your weakness, then your tastebuds are about to steer you to Asheville to an unassuming "little" BBQ joint named 12Bones, where that craving will surely be satisfied.

By "unassuming" we certainly don't mean inconspicuous! The graffiti art found on the outside of 12Bones' River location is anything but unnoticeable!
