Happy 4th Foodtopia fans!! Today is a day to reflect on all that we are grateful for in this wonderful country of ours. Here at Eating Asheville we count ourselves lucky to live in a place so full of farm fresh produce and talented chefs who know just what do with it. Like most Asheville holidays, we find the best way to celebrate is with delicious food! So we’ve rounded up some fun events happening at several of Asheville’s best restaurants that are sure to help your 4th of July be a success.
Social Lounge
Join us on the rooftop tonight for a community celebration of our country’s independence. Live music and precision drinks all night, along with specials on all wines for Wine Wednesday. Happy Independence day, Asheville.
