Chef Owen McGlynn

Executive Chef Owen McGlynn loves the challenge of adding the fresh flavors and textures necessary to create the complex, yet simple dishes which have become STORM’s signature.

His inventiveness is fueled by both his wide-ranging knowledge of flavor profiles and desire for generating a balance of flavor in each plate. In season, local farmers and foragers round out the fare at STORM by coming to the kitchen door with their bounty.

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Chef McGlynn trained at Johnson & Wales in Charleston, then stayed a dozen years prior to moving to the upstate. It was from there that he was tapped to open STORM RHUM BAR & BISTRO almost five years ago.

His skills in butchery, using an entire pig, lamb or fish sourced from local breeders and farmers or caught from the waters of the Carolinas, allow him to resourcefully use each part of IWANNA

the animal in different offerings. Yet another passion of McGlynn’s is the ancient traditional art of charcuterie, the preparation and curing of meats prior to the invention of refrigeration.

The atmosphere inside STORM, reminiscent of a world traveler’s den, results in a comfortable, vintage style which is matched by Chef McGlynn’s ample culinary talents. Drawing on his Midwestern roots and combining his broad knowledge of low-country cuisine with the simple mountain fare of the Appalachians, McGlynn has created a satisfying menu of large and small plates for travelers and locals alike.

Storm Rhum Bar & Bistro is located at 125 South Lexington Avenue in downtown Asheville.

A short ways from downtown, North Asheville offers luxury accomodations and plenty of comfort food options.

The gem of North Asheville, the Omni Grove Park Inn has offered visitors relaxation, rejuvenation and spectacular views for over one hundred years. Book a spa package, play a round of golf or take in the views over dinner on the Sunset Terrace, one of Grove Park’s many restaurants.

Comfort food of all varieties abounds in North Asheville, from traditional Southern cooking with a modern twist to sushi and Italian.

Saturday mornings are best spent with friends and neighbors at WNC’s

oldest producer-only farmers’ market. Just down the hill from the Tailgate Market lie the Botanical Gardens, representing the Southern Appalachians with over 600 native plant species.

Head North for an array of both casual and upscale options.

Historic Biltmore Village

Just outside the entrance to Biltmore, George Vanderbilt’s 8,000 acre mountain estate and the country’s largest private residence, lies a charming village of pebbledash, English inspired cottages, home to art galleries, unique shops and outstanding restaurants.

Biltmore Village was designed by the finest architects of the day. The village was built so the individual pieces fit together into a harmonious whole and is the definition of “great taste.”

So it should be no surprise that Biltmore Village would be home to some of Asheville’s most beloved restaurants.

From formal dining to pub grub, and from famous chains to unique,

local eateries, there is something for every taste.

Even without its history, architecture, and charm, Biltmore Village would be among Asheville’s can’t-miss destinations based on its shops alone. You will find the national chains you love as well as one-of-a-kind shops not found anywhere else stocking everything you can imagine from clothing and gifts to furniture.
