Since opening almost a year ago, the South Slope’s Buxton Hall Barbecue has quickly become a popular stop for Asheville locals and visitors alike. Now, Buxton’s getting some serious national attention as well.
The barbecue hot spot was recently recognized in Bon Appetit magazine’s list of “50 Best New Restaurants” in the United States for 2016. “Here barbecue means local pasture-raised pig (not the usual commodity stuff), smoked 18 hours over a mixture of oak, cherry, and hickory, until it’s juicy and sweet—just how chef Elliot Moss learned it from his grandfather in Florence, South Carolina,” Bon Appetit says in its review of Buxton.
Buxton Hall is one of three North Carolina restaurants included on this year’s list. Over the next few weeks, Bon Appetite will narrow its selections down to a “Hot 10” list, and subsequently pick an overall winner. The winner and finalists will be announced in the publication’s September issue, which hits stands August 16.
