Daymakers Slider Bar

Two years ago, Hurricane Helene changed Swannanoa forever.

Daymakers was a mere dream when the river rose, homes were lost and businesses were devastated.

We’re humbled by the resilience, generosity and determination of those met with such unimaginable circumstances. It’s what makes the Swannanoa Valley so special, and we’re so honored to be here.

We’re grateful for friends like Short Sleeves Coffee, Beacon Park WNC and countless others who have supported Daymakers and welcomed us into the Beacon Village community.

And while there is so much progress to be proud of, there is still so much work to do as Swannanoa continues to navigate the trauma and effects of Helene.

If you’re looking for a way to help, consider supporting organizations, neighbors and businesses right here in the Valley that keep showing up for one another, rebuilding and believing in Swannanoa.

❤️ Save Beacon Village — helping families whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged rebuild and return home. (Save Beacon Village)

We’re grateful to all of the people and organizations doing this work, and we’re here for you friends. ❤️

Thank you to Swannanoa native and Spectrum News 1 North Carolina journalist Justin Quesinberry for shedding light on the Valley.

A downtown section of Swannanoa is seeing a rebirth after years of empty storefronts, economic challenges and the impacts from Tropical Storm Helene.

Opening a restaurant in less than 3 months is no small feat.

From R&D to Opening Night, US Foods has been there every step of the way.

Chef Crow has worked with US Foods for 15+ years and Sandi Lynch , one of the best reps in the region, for nearly 10—and we’re incredibly grateful for that relationship.

Before opening, we had the chance to tour their impressive Fort Mill facility and test kitchen to see firsthand the thought, logistics and people behind what it takes to keep restaurants like ours moving.

But what really stands out to us isn’t just what they deliver. It’s how they show up.

From last minute orders, to bussing tables, to jumping into the dish pit during our opening, Sandi was a boss. That’s hospitality. That’s going the extra mile. That’s the Daymaker mentality.

We’re fortunate to work with an incredible mix of local farmers, breweries, makers and specialty purveyors, who help us bring quality ingredients to our guests, and proud to partner with a broadline vendor that shares our commitment to excellence and genuine hospitality. They’re not only vendors but a valued part of our team.

Thank you, US Foods, for showing up for us—again and again.
Cheers! Y’all are true Daymakers. 👊

Ponzu-glazed crispy pork belly, pickled veggies, baby arugula, sriracha aioli - like a Bahn Mi but on a slider bun. ✨
