Pull Up a Chair …

We believe in crafting meals that make you miss your mom.

Food should be nourishing and comforting and is always better when shared. Cooking and conversation are the strongest foundations for building community and a shared meal can heal more than an empty stomach. There is tremendous power in gathering.

Chef Erik was born in Maine and retains strong opinions on seafood, if not the accent. After working for many years in the busy restaurants of Manhattan, he decided to return to the core of cooking—nourishing and comforting others.

We can't wait to create something unique with you!
