If you’ve ever dined with us you probably noticed the countless picture frames lining our walls, but if you take a look closer, many of them are moments captured by Chef Jarred throughout his years of travel, adventure, and a deep love of food. Every photo holds a story.
Slide 1:
Captured near the Lizard Head Wilderness (circa 2008), this photo was taken during one of Chef Jarred’s mushroom hunting adventures. Back then, he and a few coworkers would spend their free time foraging, part hobby, part way to reconnect with nature, and part creative way to support the kitchen they worked in. On this trip, they stumbled upon a rare and striking “fairy ring” of Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) mushrooms. Beautiful to look at, but famously poisonous. That season also brought baskets full of chanterelles and porcini, a true treasure hunt of the wild.
Slide 2 (left):
A glimpse of San Joaquin Chute in Black Bear Canyon, Colorado, a place Chef Jarred returned to often, skiing the same challenging chute whenever he had the chance. A memory shaped by adrenaline, mountains, and the pull of the outdoors.
Slide 2 (right):
Taken near The Needles in Custer, this photo captures a rock-climbing route from the summer of 2007, after returning to South Dakota from the Southwest. A single pitch climb of about 20 meters.
The walls of our restaurant aren’t just decor, they’re snapshots of the experiences, places, and passions that inspire the food, people, and stories shared here every day.
