Tips from locals
Between Moonlight Ridge and Patton Ave, this is en-route to Asheville, or a great stop on the way home. The owner hails from the Adirondack and Canadian Appalachian Regions, the decor and food (Poutine, Maple Syrup-flavored sauces, flapjacks, etc) reflect their roots.
Chef Dan Silo’s menu at Sawhorse channels the family lore of his great-grandmother, who was a lumber camp cook, as well as his own memories of the country diner food of his youth in the Adirondack Mountains. With a focus on whole-animal butchery and in-house preservation, the kitchen cranks out masterful takes on stick-to-your-ribs French Canadian classics.
