Dear Margaret, a year ago this evening, life with you as we knew it burnt up. It’s hard to explain that grief. Everything ended so abruptly, and your loss was felt deeply by all those who loved you: our guests and regulars, our little restaurant family, me and Chef Ryan. We are still grieving, if I’m being honest. But we are also moving forward. Doors are opening. We’re cooking again and hosting intimate popup dinners that remind me of what a special community you created. We have more plans in the works; it feels good to stretch those muscles. We’re making big plans. We know we will bring you back, even if looking for new real estate makes Ryan’s catchphrase ring even truer than before: Everything Takes Forever. But it’s more than that. Everything good takes forever. Everything worth it takes forever. We deserve to be together again, no matter how long it takes. See you soon for 2.0. The energy is shifting. I feel it. Ever yours, Lacey

Welp, it’s officially been six months, since a fire shuttered our restaurant. We are still looking for the right space to reopen in. And in the meantime, Chef Ryan lets us in on a little secret: spring popup dinners coming soon! Stay tuned for all the details (we will announce on social media and to our newsletter list), and thanks for your patience. We miss serving y’all so very much 🫶

Back at it—in another kitchen that isn’t our own—Chef Ryan demonstrates how to break down and clean up a huge honkin’ sturgeon. This fish was part of a dish for a special event (as we are trying to keep ourselves busy until we find a new home for Dear Margaret)
