Happy Independent Retailer Month!

Happy Independent Retailer Month! 🛒

As a private chef, every great meal starts long before I step into a client’s kitchen. It begins with the incredible independent retailers, farmers, and local businesses I trust for exceptional ingredients, specialty products, and tools.

Here are a few of my favorites that help make every in-home dining experience possible:

🍎 @findlaymarket — my go-to for some of Cincinnati’s best local products

🛒 @junglejimsmarket — an unmatched selection of specialty ingredients, international products, and hard-to-find pantry staples

🥕 @etcproduce — beautiful vegetables and herbs from local farmers

🌱 @thechefsgarden_ohio — extraordinary specialty produce, edible flowers, herbs, and vegetables that inspire seasonal menus

🥩 @eckerlinmeats — just about any cut of meat I could need

🧀 @therhined — an outstanding selection of artisan cheeses

🍨 @dojogelato — the perfect sweet treat while strolling the market

🦞 @lobstabakes — fresh seafood, seafood platters, and one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon at The Shack

🍇 @boardsandbeez — incredible charcuterie boards and grazing trays

🌱 @harmonyplantfare — my go-to for tasty vegan swaps

🍝 @bouchards_bakery_and_pasta — fresh-made pasta and sauces

🪵 @cincinnatiwoodco — handcrafted cutting boards that are as beautiful as they are functional

🌿 @roothouseaqua — lettuce, microgreens, edible flowers, and incredible tilapia

🧳 @boldric — my go-to chef bag for keeping my knives and tools organized and protected

Supporting independent businesses isn’t just something I believe in—it’s how I build every menu. These partnerships help me source the freshest ingredients, celebrate exceptional craftsmanship, and create memorable dining experiences, from intimate date nights to unforgettable dinner parties.
