16 Hottest Restaurants in Asheville Right Now, June 2024

"You may think you only want an IPA, lager, or pilsner from Zilliacoah Beer Co., but if the Master BBQ grill is fired up, the smoke will pull you right to the window of the fire engine red food truck behind the brewery. The next thing you know, you’ll be ordering a pork, chicken inasal, or tofu skewer, chicken adobo, grilled pork belly, pancit, a couple of lumpia, and a side of annatto rice (toasted annatto seeds add crunch to the complimentary pickled cucumbers). Owners Julia and Paul Pike built a fervid following for fourth-generation chef Paul’s Filipino comfort food popping up around town, and in February snagged the permanent parking space behind Zilliacoah, with seating inside the brewery or riverside picnic tables." - Kay West
