This 50-yard strip of Banks Avenue on Asheville's South Slope is a foodie bonanza, with Buxton Hall Barbecue, Catawba Brewing and Vortex Doughnuts offering the best in meat, beer, coffee, and doughnuts. Varieties change daily and always include a good selection of risen (yeast), cake and vegan doughnuts with deliciously different toppings. Order an artfully crafted latte and pair it with a salted caramel and bacon doughnut. Add some fruit with a second doughnut filled with gooey strawberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar.
Pro tip: Come early on weekends. Many of the most popular varieties sell out quickly.
