Everything is designed to show how farm-to-table can be approachable, fun and delicious without the need to be too fancy. We will be a fast-casual, family friendly restaurant in the heart of the OLLE Arts District that helps bring the community closer together and bridge the gap between the people that grow our food, prepare our food, and eat our food.
Jason Trivette
Owner Chef Trivettes Creations Catering
Born and raised in the foothills of western North Carolina Chef Jason Trivette grew up always wanting to cook thanks to his mother & grandmothers. Starting humbly in the industry as a dishwasher, his drive to learn and make the best food of his ability guided him through the ranks into running his first kitchen only 5 years later. Leaving there to work under many great chefs has helped him to hone his skills and passion into the ability to not only feed people but to deliver an experience as well. When feeding clients Chef Jason hopes they will have a moment of bliss and be taken to a special time or place in their lives that means something to them.
