Local restaurants celebrating major milestones this month

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s packed with local businesses celebrating birthdays.

If you have a February birthday, you’re in excellent company.

We might be a little biased considering AVLtoday turned seven on Feb. 8, but here are three more Asheville establishments celebrating double-digit birthdays this month, thanks to our community’s commitment to supporting local businesses.

Corner Kitchen

If Corner Kitchen was a person, we’d buy it a beer.

The New American restaurant celebrated 21 years of service in its historical Biltmore Village location on Sunday, Feb. 16. The restaurant’s first floor was completely flooded during Helene and is currently undergoing renovations.

You can follow the restaurant’s journey to rebuild on Instagram, or dine at their sister restaurant, Chestnut, until they reopen.

Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian

“Cause when you’re fifteen.”

Vinnie’s original North Asheville location celebrates 15 years of service on Tuesday, Feb. 18 with 15% off the bill for those who don their best inner-Vinnie costume (think fedoras, pearls, and furs).

The best dressed wins a free dinner for two. Check out their Instagram for inspiration.

Luella’s Bar-B-Que

They grow up so fastLuella’s becomes an official adult on Sunday, Feb. 23.

Celebrate 18 years of delicious chopped pork and pulled chicken sandwiches by scoring these staples at their original 2007 prices.

Plus, local legends Jon + Hank of the John Henry’s will play a jazz guitar set at the Merrimon location on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.
