We may not exactly have acres of lawn over here at Chef Jared & Company…

Okay, we barely have enough grass to justify owning a lawn mower But what we do have, Partridge Landscaping keeps us looking pretty damn good.

Fall is officially here, and we wanted to give a little shoutout to the guy who keeps our little patch of Arthur Street looking neat and taken care of.

And unlike us, some of you actually have real yards.

Partridge Landscaping is accepting new clients, so if the leaves are starting to fall and your yard is already plotting against you, now’s a good time to get on his scheduled.

We may not give him much to mow but he makes what we’ve got look good.

Support the local businesses that help keep other local businesses looking their best.

9 TO 5 FOR DOLLY- National Dolly Parton Day

Pumpkin Pancakes — $9.25

Around here, we spend a lot more time working 5 to 9 than 9 to 5, but today we’re having a little fun with it.

We’re still open 7 to 2. Hopefully Dolly would understand that 9 to 5 doesn’t exactly work for a breakfast restaurant.

Today, we’re doing what we know how to do: feeding people and doing a little good along the way.

50% of every Pumpkin Pancake order sold today will be donated to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, helping put books into the hands of kids and encouraging them to read, learn, and dream.

Dolly gave us the music, the hair, the rhinestones, and a song that’s gotten plenty of us through a workday. But what she did for kids and literacy deserves to be remembered right alongside all of it.

So come have breakfast with us.

9/25. $9.25. 9 to 5 for Dolly.

(But we’re still open 7 to 2. Please don’t show up at 4:45 looking for pancakes.)

Chef got bored again. October menu is here.

New dishes. New flavors. A few old favorites sticking around because Chef knows better than to start a riot. And yes, there has been plenty of taste testing. It’s a terrible burden, but someone has to do it.

Cranberry Turkey Brie is back, y’all been begging for that to come back!

Pumpkin Pancakes are here!

French Onion Grilled Cheese by popular demand!

Come hungry. We’ve got some new things for you to try.

A Sweet New Partnership, With a Little Heat

We love working with Michigan businesses that care just as much about what goes into their products as we do.

So we’re excited to welcome Mi Hot Honey to Chef Jared & Company.

You’ll now find their honey products for sale right here in the restaurant, so you can take a little Michigan-made goodness home with you.

But we couldn’t exactly put hot honey on the shelf and leave it there.

It’s making its way onto the menu, too.

You’ll start seeing Michigan Hot Honey worked into some of our dishes, where that little combination of sweet and heat can do what it does best.

It’s another Michigan partnership we’re excited to bring to our tables and another great local product we’re proud to put our name behind.

Stop in, try it on the menu, and if you become slightly obsessed with it, don’t worry.

We’ve got bottles to take home, too.

Good morning, Manistee.

Tuesday has arrived, which means the weekend is officially behind us and pretending we have our lives together can begin. Fortunately, coffee helps. Breakfast helps more.

The griddle is hot, the bread is fresh, the coffee is flowing, and we’re here doing what we do best, making really good food.

Whether you’re starting the workday, catching up with a friend, or simply decided cooking your own breakfast sounded like entirely too much responsibility this morning, we’ve got a seat for you.

Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest.
Breakfast and lunch until 2 PM today at Chef Jared & Company.

09/20/2026

Good morning, Manistee.

The coffee is hot, the ovens have been busy, and breakfast is officially underway.

No big announcement today. No fancy sales pitch. Just good food, fresh bread, plenty of coffee, and a team ready to take care of you.

Because sometimes Sunday doesn’t need to be complicated. You show up hungry. We’ll handle the rest.

Breakfast and lunch until 2 PM today at Chef Jared & Company.

365 days ago, you showed up for us.

Today, you did it again.

We served 250 guests.

That means Chef Jared & Company will be donating $250 to Lakeshore Children’s Advocacy Center.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Throughout the day, our community also filled an envelope with additional donations for the Center.

And because today has been about giving back to the community that has given so much to us, Chef Jared is personally matching that $250 donation.

So before we even count what all of you generously placed in that envelope, $500 is already headed to Lakeshore Children’s Advocacy Center.

Think about that for a second.

250 people walked through the doors of our little 40-seat café today.

And simply by sitting down, sharing a meal, having a cup of coffee, and being part of our birthday, you helped take care of someone else in this community.

No grand gesture was required.

You just showed up.

And maybe that’s what today reminded us most:

If 250 people can accomplish this around 40 seats, imagine what we could do together around one really big table.

Because today was never really about a number.

It was watching familiar faces walk through the door. Meeting new ones. Reading your memories. Cutting cake. Watching our team do what they do best.

And realizing just how much can happen around a table in 365 days.

To our guests, our team, our farmers, our vendors, our neighboring businesses, our friends, and this incredible community:

Thank you for giving us year one.

Thank you for filling our tables. Thank you for telling your friends. Thank you for trusting us with your celebrations.

And thank you for showing up today, not only for us, but for an organization doing incredibly important work for children and families in our community.

Today, 250 people showed us what can happen when a community gathers around a table.

Tomorrow, we start year two.

And we’re just getting started.

We made the food.
You made it home.

TODAY WE’RE ONE. 365 days around the table!

One year ago today, we unlocked these doors for the first time.

We didn’t know exactly what the next 365 days would bring.

Turns out… A lot.

Some incredible days. Some really hard ones.

A whole lot of learning.

Thousands of meals. Countless cups of coffee.

New friendships.

A team we’re incredibly proud of And a community that showed up for us over and over again.

So today we’re celebrating.

The coffee is brewing. The kitchen is cooking. The bakery case is full.

And yes… There’s birthday cake.

Most importantly, every person we serve today means another $1 donated by Chef Jared & Company to Lakeshore Children's Advocacy Center

So come have breakfast. Come have lunch. Come say hello.

Come help us fill these tables one more time in year one.

Today isn’t about asking you to give us anything. Today is about saying thank you.

Happy First Birthday, Chef Jared & Company.

And thank you, Manistee.

We made the food.
You made it home.

TOMORROW, WE TURN ONE.
365 days ago, Chef Jared & Company opened its doors.

Tomorrow, we’re throwing a birthday party for the people who made year one possible. You!

Come have breakfast. Stay for another cup of coffee. Bring someone for lunch.

Check out the birthday bakery case.

Take a walk through some memories from our first year. Leave one of your own. And, of course, have a little birthday cake with us.

But there’s one part of tomorrow that means especially much to us.

For every guest we serve, Chef Jared & Company will donate $1 to Lakeshore Children's Advocacy Center

Nothing extra added to your bill. No donation required.Your seat at the table is enough.

We’re going to keep a running count throughout the day, and when the doors close, we’ll find out what Manistee accomplished together.

This restaurant has Chef Jared’s name on the door But the first year belongs to an entire community.

Tomorrow, we celebrate it.

Friday, September 4.

365 Days Around the Table.
We made the food. You made it home.
