Final Update:
Tomorrow will be the final day that 158 Main Restaurant serves the community under my ownership, and while it’s certainly bittersweet, I know it’s time for a new chapter to begin.
Before closing this door, I want to take one more moment to thank the true heart of this restaurant — every single staff member who has walked through these doors over the past 22 years. From day one to our final service, each of you played a part in making 158 Main what it became. There are far too many names to mention, but please know that every cook, server, dishwasher, prep hand, host, delivery driver, and helping hand along the way holds a special place in my heart. Without your hard work, loyalty, and dedication, none of this would have been possible.
To the Jeffersonville community — thank you once again for embracing me, supporting me, and allowing me to do what I loved for over two decades. You made this little restaurant into something much bigger than a business. It became family.
While this chapter comes to an end, I’m excited for what comes next for this beautiful space. Please stay tuned as James Janes and Brandon Chilson begin their own ode to Jeffersonville with a new restaurant and new vision. I couldn’t be happier to pass along this opportunity to people who care deeply about this village and its future.
And for everyone asking — all current gift cards will absolutely be honored once Brandon & James open their operation and begin this next chapter.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for 22 unforgettable years.
With gratitude always,
Chef Jack
