A Homecoming Worth Celebrating 😊

Imagine One Hospitality is proud to welcome Executive Chef Jason Starnes to the culinary leadership of Rule Prime & Pasta and Vintage House Restaurant.

A Hickory native with more than two decades of experience, Chef Starnes returns home following an accomplished career leading celebrated kitchens throughout the South, including the Alida Hotel and Rhett Restaurant in Savannah, Barnsley Resort, and South City Kitchen Buckhead. Along the way, his work has earned recognition from South Magazine, Thrillist, and Zagat.

With a deep appreciation for locally sourced ingredients, thoughtful culinary craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality, Chef Starnes brings a culinary philosophy that feels both refined and approachable. His passion for seasonality and sense of place make him a natural fit for the restaurants and communities we are so proud to serve.

We are thrilled to welcome Chef Starnes home, and we look forward to sharing what’s ahead at Rule Prime & Pasta and Vintage House.
