Mother & Son Bistro Asheville

Resurrection of an Asheville Icon

2010-04-28T14:25:00.000-04:00

Many were shocked last fall when news of the sudden death of Minnie Smith, mother of Ron Smith and co-owner of Picnic's. Her loss was felt on a personal level by many and on a business level by thousands.
Who would pick up the torch and continue on with the wonderful tradition and extraordinary taste of Minnie & Ron's pies?
Our community supports Family business and Ron believes the Love & Essence of Mom's homemade pie's deserves a new venue.

It should come as no surprise then that a mother and son team would want to keep these wonderful recipes alive and circulating in our community. Mother & Son Bistro and Bakery has announced that starting the week of May 2, 2010 they will be producing the "Picnic's Pies" as featured on Rachel Ray. Owner and Mother, Dawn Izon, is quoted as saying "These are the original recipes, made by loving hands in the family tradition and we are proud to be part of a new team to bring the back to our community. Crusts made from scratch with natural ingredients, fresh seasonal fruits and as extra special secret ingredient in the kitchen, will add all to the magic. I challenge anyone to put us to the taste test."

Mother & Son Bistro and Bakery is located on Merrimon Ave/Old Weaverville Hwy, at the North end of town in the Stone Ridge Business Park next to Citizens "Do It Best" Hardware store... Some of you may remember this location as the old Skate-A-Round spot. Hours are Monday-Saturday 9:00-9:00 and Sunday 9:00-3:00

North Asheville Bakery – Mother & Son Bistro

2010-03-11T14:03:00.000-05:00

Aside from our Bistro experience, we have a full on site bakery. We specialize in cakes, pies and cookies using all natural ingredients. During the winter time we like the restaurant to smell like our hot, just out of the oven specialty breads (sun-dried tomato and rosemary, 12 grain pumpernickel.) We make specialty cakes, from small occasions to large wedding cakes and we specialize in the whimsical "Topsy Turvy" style cakes. We have a French pastry chef that makes wonderful tarts and mousses and is getting ready to introduce Asheville to the French Macaroon!! There are many flavors from classical to new unique flavors that will be made available. Also look for our contest this spring where YOU will get a chance to invent a new flavor macaroon. The best flavor picked will win a dozen of the flavored macaroons they invented and have this flavor named in honor of them. We love having our customers/friends involved in what we love to do.
