Dad, chef and market forager Jack Gilmore: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
I have the pleasure of spending Father’s Day with my dad in Missouri this weekend, which is why I’m a few days late in posting this week’s Fridge Friday.
Jack is one of those gracious guys who just keeps on giving. To the farmers he buys from every week. To his restaurant, Jack Allen’s Kitchen. To his neighbors in Oak Hill who lost their houses in wildfires earlier this year. To his wife, LuAnn, and sons, Bryce and Dylan, whom he’s inspired to go into the restaurant business.
When Bryce first opened Odd Duck trailer, he was using his dad’s kitchen at Jack Allen’s to do the prep work. He had so much success with his Odd Duck trailer that he opened Barley Swine just down South Lamar Boulevard late last year.
Within months of opening Barley Swine, Food + Wine magazine named Bryce as one of the top 10 new chefs in the country.
Now, Odd Duck is in the hands of Bryce’s younger brother, Dylan.
From his own very successful restaurant, proud papa bear Jack gets to watch his sons do what he inspired them to do, which is all any parent can really hope for.
What three things are always in your fridge? Almond M&Ms, great local cheese and farm fresh eggs
What’s the one item you wouldn’t take the last bite or sip of because you know it’s your dad/son’s favorite? Never take the last M&M
What’s your go-to late night snack after long nights in the restaurant? Cheetos
