~ About Us ~
61 Main represents the latest trend in dining, Farm-to-table.
To us, it is much more than just a phase of what diners are looking
for, but a commitment to the community and environment. We have opened
our doors with a simple philosophy: utilization of local and seasonal
ingredients, cooking with familiar southern techniques, and providing
a comforting atmosphere to enjoy the dining experience!
As the chef/owner, I felt it was time to introduce this responsible way of dining to our area. After five years of working as a private chef and eight years of living and cooking professionally in Charleston, South Carolina, my husband and I were ready to settle somewhere and begin growing some roots! We landed in such a beautiful and bountiful area that we could not resist the development of this restaurant concept in Jasper, Georgia. Our friends and families dedication and labor of love to our project has made all of this a reality.
This idea, 61 Main, is located in an interesting historic corner building on Main Street and is central to the thriving farms and businesses. We strive to provide the City of Jasper and surrounding areas with a place to meet, eat, and enjoy time with each other while supporting local farmers and other food related businesses. 61 Main uses food and drink as an educational means of how to cook fresh and local with a healthy twist.
We currently have daily drop-offs from two local farms. Dig It Farm is located right here in Jasper and our friends Kip & Michelle Foster along with their two sons have made my job as the chef so exciting. They are growing a large amount of our gorgeous produce and provide us with some of the best tasting eggs I have ever had. We are in the process of developing a plan for Dig It Farm to raise chickens for 61 Main, so there are some very neat things in store for our relationship with Dig It! Whitestone Farm, operated by Russell and Kristina Cutts is our other provider. Their farm is located on a gem of a property in Talking Rock exhibited in the photography on the walls of our restaurant. A good friend of 61 Main took the pictures and another custom designed the reclaimed barn wood frames. Whitestone should be best known for their beautiful, tender baby lettuces, perfect herbs, and other seasonal goodies. The 61 Main signature blend of coffee is roasted weekly by Foggy Hollow Coffee Roasters. Dave and Patti Raygor provide us with the smoothest drinking cup of coffee one could ever want! 61 Main will keep the customer informed as to where the food on our menu originates and we will continue to make local contacts of who and where to get the best product from.
We are always open to comments, questions, and suggestions, so please do not hesitate to ask to speak with the chef. You are the key ingredient to what we can cook up at 61 Main!
