On Saturday, Frankie Bones in Gerber Village [Asheville, NC] will have its last day of business. But that space won’t be vacant for long. Brad Daugherty – a NASCAR analyst for ESPN, former Cleveland Cavalier and Black Mountain native son – will open the ‘casual-upscale’ Daugherty’s American Kitchen & Drink there. The restaurant will open officially on July 16. Frankie Bones’ operating partner, Alan Wolf, will be the operating partner for the restaurant, and South Carolina chef, Chris Jones, will be a partner and executive chef of the restaurant. This will be the first restaurant for Daugherty.(Asheville Citizen-Times)
