James Beard Recognition
Michelin hasn't come to Asheville. The Beard Foundation has been coming for over a decade.
11 spots with national recognition, and one win — Cúrate Bar de Tapas, still carrying its 2022 medal. The rest span current finalists like Neng Jr. and Chai Pani down to semifinalist nods stretching back to 2010. Recognition isn't our rating — some of these land at Worth Trying on our scale despite the badge. The receipts are on every page.
