The Comfy Corner

Ladies and gentlemen, blogging to you live from Asheville, North Carolina; a mountainous place where the people are a little older, the traffic moves a little slower, and there is no shortage of Southern hospitality. It is (drum roll please) my hometown (cymbal crash). So Imma gonna be havin' a coupla blogs about da South comin' atcha. This first one right here is gonna be about da food. There are three things I must absolutely have when I leave my Boston cave and visit the land of trees and fresh air: Mexican food, Chic-fil-A and barbecue. (Mexican food because downtown Boston has absolutely zero authentic Mexican restaurants and Chic-fil-A because it's just bomb, nuff said). And the only place east of the Mississippi you can get the best BBQ in the world (figure that out) is 12 Bones, servin' up damn good corn puddin, the best baked beans, mouth waterin mac 'n cheese and a rack of ribs that'll make the staunchest vegetarian drool. Most importantly though, witness below what every restaurant in the world should offer.

That right there is a can of sugar with a hint of black tea and it's the finest beverage your tongue can experience. And folks, your gonna need this icy cold refreshment after you enjoy the most (ful)filling plate of Southern food you'll ever see.

There it is ya'll. From my home to yours. That isn't just any flavoring on those ribs, that's blueberry chipotle. Hold your applause for just a minute. The best thing about 12 Bones is its unique way of blending traditional barbecue with a twist of local flavors.They also have spicy jamaican jerk, strawberry jalepeno, and brown sugar rub (cue applause). The 12 Bones experience is the epitome of Southern living. The food, the service, the customers all adhere to the unspoken rules of Southern comfort and hospitality (they should be paying me right now to write this). If I could inject their barbecue sauce into my bloodstream, I would. As far as comfy corners go, this is one of the comfiest. Stay comfy kids.
