Plow Restaurant

Very special thanks to everyone who helped spread Christmas cheer through Plow this season.
One of the greatest blessings is using our time, treasure, and talents to serve and bless others. The abundance of cookie trays made their way into many hands, but it was a true joy to also share with those who couldn’t make it to Plow for the dinner—especially our friends at Our House and Home Again Assisted Living.
Thank you to all who serve and give so generously. You truly embody the reason for the season. ❤️
Merry Christmas!

With Much research and following leads I headed back to Grass valley from the base of Mt Shasta where I spent some time with my dear friend and mentor Perry Colburn for a final meal and support the nostalgia of Charlie’s Cafe. I plan to be there when the doors open to get a bit of Charlies swag. Below is the article published today…

The rumors are true. Charlie’s Cafe, which has been a favorite breakfast and lunch spot on South Auburn Street in Grass Valley has closed its doors, confirmed by co-owner Kelly

For all of you wanting to follow Plows journey forward—here’s a brief backstory:
I’m 2,000 miles away in the small town of Grass Valley, California, my mom—an early and fearless restaurateur—opened a little place called Mr. Charley’s over four decades ago. Over the years, it’s had more reinventions than a plow in winter… from Charlie’s Angels to countless other “Charley” versions. But it all started with me—yep, my mom named it after yours truly. 🧒

Some of my earliest memories are rooted in that place:

There’s a rumor floating that Charlie’s Café might be closing this Friday. 🥲💔
I’ll keep you posted.
S.O.S. … What does it mean to you?
Save. Our. S________! Let’s fill in the blank together.
PLOW believes Main Streets are the backbone of America. What did we learn in Cambridge and how can we help others avoid the pitfalls of small business?

The photos I’m sharing are in honor of my Mom and where it all began. Because truth be told, no sauce, no spice—no matter how fancy—can compare to fresh.
🍳 Fresh eggs
🍅 Fresh tomatoes
🥒 Fresh cucumbers
🍯 And a touch of crystalline honey from our farm in Wisconsin...
All mixed with a little bit of love = one unforgettable breakfast from Momma.

I’m headed out on a Hot August road trip across the 🇺🇸 USA, and I’d love for you to follow along. I’ll be sharing stories, memories, and celebrating the Main Streets and local businesses that shape us.

👉 Follow, share, and stay tuned!
Cheers to family roots, small towns, and the people who make them special.

PLOW will be closed until further notice (August) as we look for the best opperator for Cambridge long term success. I appologize for the inconvieniece no excuses, no blame, no throwing anyone under the bus. We had all intentions of being open this weekend for Indian takeover but are going to hold off for a true comprehensive plan for Plow and Main Street.

I would like to thank Choton and the Enactus team with Renew Towns, and the fresh insights they brought to Cambridge. Thank you John and Cyndi with Visit Cambridge, I’d like to thank Cathy and all the folks that meet to support the work of Collaborative 523, and for the Wednesday’s wake up! And most of all all if you who are our customers and encouragers. I apologize for any inconvenience. Best regards, Charles Fiesel. If you have an idea for Plow or Wards Mercantile, please feel free to reach out
