Award-Winning Bama-Style BBQ Franchise Opens in Asheville July 9th, 2010 Posted by Lorrie Dixson

Moe's Original Bar B Que is proud to announce its Asheville grand opening on Friday, July 9th at 11am at 4 Sweeten Creek Road. Moe's Original serves up an award-winning, all things Southern, Alabama BBQ experience with large party take-out orders and catering with delivery available. Located in the Biltmore Village area, there are many shops, music venues and attractions nearby with downtown Asheville minutes away. In addition to a beautiful outdoor patio, there are 4 large flat-screen TVs for sports viewing and will be live entertainment on the weekends.

"We wanted to keep with the overall atmosphere of Moe's as its theme ties the South to the mountains which is fitting for Asheville," said co-owner Dave Rice. "Like the other Moe's, our restaurant features walk up counter service, a premium bar, comfortable booths and tables surrounded by Southern sports memorabilia and concert posters on the walls."

Years after learning to fire roast meats Bama-style, Alabama natives Mike Fernandez, Ben Gilbert and Jeff Kennedy founded Moe's Original Bar B Que in Vail, Colorado in 2001. Using recipes passed down for generations, Moe's Original Bar B Que prepares meats and an array of Southern side dishes and desserts fresh daily. Continuing to grow and open new franchises at an aggressive, yet manageable pace, Moe's Original Bar B Que has 15 other locations in Daphne, Fairhope, Orange Beach, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Lakeview, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama, Denver, Englewood, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Eagle and Vail, Colorado with another opening soon in Atlanta, GA. All Moe's open daily for lunch and dinner starting at 11am and serve until it's gone!

Aria Tuscan Grill: Blonde Bites Food Review April 1st, 2010 Posted by Emily Shedrow

8pm on a Thursday, I found myself Uptown; the light rain coming down was no match for my growling stomach as my boyfriend David and I tried to decide where would dine that evening. Our first thought was Sonoma so we headed over to Tryon St where we were happy to take advantage of the valet. Unfortunately Sonoma was having a private party, so we found ourselves back to square one. That’s when it dawned on us that Aria is owned by the same restaurant group and literally around the corner from Sonoma.
