We wanted to take a moment to share something personal with our Che Butter Jonez family.
Last week, Chef received news that required him to immediately head to New York to be with his family. Sadly, on Thursday, October 22, his father passed away.
For those of you who've been wondering where Chef has been, that's where he's been. In his absence, our team has been holding things down here at the restaurant while he takes this time to be with his family.
Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate the life of a man who meant so much to so many.
To our beloved Papa Quinlan, thank you for the love, kindness, and quiet strength you shared with those around you. We know how incredibly proud you were of your son, and we know how much that meant to him.
From all of us at Che Butter Jonez, we extend our deepest condolences and love to Chef Malik and the entire Quinlan family during this difficult time.
Rest well, Papa Quinlan. You were loved, and you will be missed. ❤️
