Rock Hill, SC

Participating In: Feast by the Field Saturday

Chef Jon and Chef Amy Fortes met in 2008 in the industry and shared a passion for food and people. “Having worked in the kitchen for a combined 30+ years we thought it was time to start an adventure of our own.” 

“We love the Charlotte area, but we liked the family and community feel of Fort Mill and Rock Hill. We are so excited to have found multiple great locations to bring locally inspired fare to great local people. We love York County! We use only the best ingredients that will keep our customers coming back again and again.”

Amy Fortes grew up in Lockport, New York, just outside of Buffalo. With a vast amount of farm land, dairy farms, and corn fields in the surrounding area, and incredibly cold winters with a lot of snow, seasonality was something she learned as a child. Shucking corn for dinner was an almost nightly thing in the summer nights.
