Don’t miss out on the deliciousness coming during next week’s Small Plate Crawl!
This first ever Asheville Small Plate Crawl is Co-Presented by Asheville Independent Restaurant Association (AIR) and Carolina Epicurean.
THIRTY ONE Asheville Independent Restaurants will create special Small Plate Menus, priced from $3 to $8, featuring their cuisine and Chef’s talent. Crawl from restaurant to restaurant from 11:30AM to 9:00PM – lunch and dinner hours – sampling the best of Asheville’s culinary scene.
There’s no purchase necessary to enter the Asheville Small Plate Crawl’s first Photo Contest for a chance to win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in two categories: Small Plates (food or drink shots) and Crawl Flavor (overall essence of the Crawl event). Details and rules are on AshevilleSmallPlateCrawl.com
Restaurants participate all three days during the same block of time: 11:30AM to 9:00PM, 11:30AM to 3:00PM or 5:00PM to 9:00PM. See details on the AIRpass.
Print the Crawl AIRpass and Maps at AshevilleSmallPlateCrawl.com. An AIRpass is not required, but is needed to enter the prize drawing. Prizes will be listed on the Crawl website. Present the AIRpass when purchasing Small Plates for validation. Buy a Small Plate at 5 or more restaurants to qualify for a prize drawing.
Participating restaurants are located in downtown Asheville, Biltmore Village and North, South, East and West Asheville. Look for blue AIR Event Flags outside participating restaurants.
Include a restaurant outside of Asheville’s downtown core in the “5 or more” to double your prize winning chances (AIRpass entered into drawing twice)! Qualifying restaurants will be indicated on the AIRpass. Drop the completed AIRpass off at any participating restaurant. Winners will be contacted by email.
Groups and sharing are okay, so you don’t get too full before trying all your favorite restaurants AND the ones you’ve always wanted to try.
This is a rain-or-shine event. Small plates taste just as great no matter what the weather!
