CHEF SILVER IOCOVOZZI FOCUSES ON community in Asheville, North Carolina

BY KAITLYN SHEHEE

Silver Iocovozzi is bringing a much-needed fresh take to the culinary world that stems from his past experiences working in the hospitality industry. With employee-focused restaurant Neng Jr’s, Silver is changing the game when it comes to spaces that are approachable to customers and ways to share identity and cultural heritage on a plate. We caught up with Silver to hear more about the vibrant restaurant and culinary scene in Asheville.

It’s really exciting, and it’s really a special time for our restaurant. I think the great thing about Neng’s is that we were always kind of at capacity, so we never really saw the difference as far
