Tonight, Jamie and the Bear’s team will be at Gather55 in Hartford as guest chefs, and we’d love for you to join us!

Can’t make it tonight? You can still enjoy Jamie’s featured dishes on the Gather55 menu throughout the month of October.

If you haven’t experienced Gather55, it’s a restaurant with a bigger mission. Created by Hands On Hartford, Gather55 brings together some of the region’s talented chefs while supporting work that addresses food insecurity and serves our Hartford community.

So come see Jamie and our team tonight or make plans to visit Gather55 anytime this month.

Great food. A great cause. And a chance to experience Bear’s in a different kitchen.
