It’s only funny because we were spared of any serious flooding… this time. We’ve been through this too many times over the years. The water receded quickly today. We are OPEN and there is no flooding in town currently.

11 years ago today, we opened the doors to Porcini for the very first time.

I was 23 years old. Chris was 29. We shared this vision of opening a small restaurant together and that was the foundation for the future we envisioned. We poured everything we had- our savings, our hearts, our faith, and every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears into that dream.

In this industry there are no shortcuts, and there is no easy road. It demands dedication, passion, sacrifice, and a level of grit that can only come from the depths of your soul. You live in survival mode and there are times where you don’t even remember what peace feels like.

This industry teaches you lessons you never expected to learn. It teaches you how to solve problems under pressure, adapt when plans fall apart, and keep moving forward even when you’re exhausted. It teaches you creativity that extends far beyond menus and specials.

Some days you thrive, and others you simply survive. But through it all one thing stands true, good food nourishes the body and feeds the soul.

One of my favorite things about this industry is witnessing the way food brings people together. The conversations shared around the table. The laughter. The celebrations. The anniversaries and birthdays. The moments that become memories. No matter what kind of day you’re having, it’s humbling to watch people choose your little restaurant to celebrate some of life’s biggest milestones.

Over the past 11 years, we’ve learned that gratitude can be found even in the hardest moments, and that every challenge builds resilience and strength.

To our loyal customers, our incredible staff, our family, and our friends… thank you. Thank you for supporting our dream. Thank you for believing in us. Most of all, thank you for trusting us to be part of your celebrations and your memories over the past 11 years.

Here’s to 11 years of Porcini , and to whatever comes next. ❤️
