Lil Jon, 6am, kids waking up for school, 🤣 perfect match.

To the dish pictured. One of my favorites that represent, comfort, warmth, Fall🍁

Roasted squash, pork loin, beans, and a ginger bourbon pork jus.

I’ll be dancing all the way to the kitchen… 🕺🏾

As fall sets in, our menu starts to embrace warmth.

Our roasted chicken starts with a whole bird, deboned by hand and salted the night before. An overnight rest gives the seasoning time to work into the meat and the skin time to dry.

The next day, we portion it with rosemary butter and garlic, then slowly cook it sous vide until tender.

When you order, it goes skin-side down into a hot skillet, then into the oven to finish. Golden, crisp skin. Tender chicken. Rosemary and garlic in every bite.

Served over roasted onion purée with mushrooms, greens, our brandy chicken jus, and fresh pea shoots.

This one’s for the lovers!

Two glasses of red w**e at the dinner table with Papa meant I was in for a treat.

I knew there was a story coming… One filled with history, direction, and purpose. For the next hour, I’d have his wisdom, his care, his love, and his support. Papa became a father figure to me. He gave me discipline, pushed me outside my comfort zone, and taught me not to be afraid of change.

Now I picture two glasses poured at the bar at Bushell’s, and I wish we could share one more conversation. About life and purpose. The goals I’m chasing, the challenges I’m facing, and the mistakes I’m learning from. I can almost hear him reminding me that it’s okay.

That’s why Nurses Night felt just right. It’s a chance to give back to people who spend their days caring for others and to remember healthcare workers like Papa, who give so much of their lives to caring for their community through medicine.

This night is for the nurses whose hard work deserves to be seen.

I’d give anything to pour that second glass for him. ❤️

Love you Papa.

I’ve always believed a good drink is even better when it brings people together.

This Saturday, we’re giving Still Gin its own night at Bushell’s. Starting at 6 PM, come in, find your seat, and try our Still Gin Cucumber Martini, bright, cool, and made for a night you don’t need to rush.

We’ll have a Still Gin representative here at 6 PM with complimentary gifts, too.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre built something special with Still Gin, and I’m excited to share our take on it with you. Book your reservation and come spend Saturday night with us.

Still Gin: Gin & Juice + Still G.I.N.
Snoop Dogg: snoopdogg
Dr. Dre: Dr. Dre

Nothing compares to the king of the menu. 👑

And very soon, you may just be able to get it for lunch.

Buttermilk-marinated chicken, seasoned flour, local greens, house-pickled onions, crisp pickles, and what might be the best house-made ranch around.

More to come…
