Andrew Brochu

After over a decade running restaurants in Chicago, Andrew has returned to the Southeast to open a casual, throwback-style joint inspired by the family gatherings he grew up around. He’s a Michelin-starred chef and a James Beard Award finalist, but Andrew’s passion for hospitality extends beyond cooking. He makes a killer bolognese, will talk your ear off about current events, and is a dad to Roux Peaches.

Owner & Operator

Sophie Brochu

Owner, Marketing, Etc.

Born and raised in Savannah, Sophie is back in her hometown after thirteen years in Chicago. A musician, writer, and philosophy major, Sophie wants to talk about local alligator sightings, the book you’re reading, and why sharing a meal with loved ones releases dopamine. Andrew and Sophie met working in a restaurant in Chicago. They’re happy to be home, building something special with the people they love.

When Georgia was a kid, her family liked to go to the local Mexican restaurant for sopapillas, or fried cinnamon sugar tortillas, dipped in honey butter. Born in Mississippi, Georgia’s appreciation for pastry has led to her baking in top kitchens across the country, including Chicago’s Graham Elliott, where she met her husband, Dave. Don’t ask her for any butter—she’s already used it all.

Pastry Chef/Partner

GEORGIA BAKER

This is the story of a good ole Midwestern boy who found himself in the Hostess City. Born and raised in South Dakota, Dave has worked at a wide variety of restaurants and bars, from dives to Michelin-starred establishments. He is a firm believer in Jameson & pickle juice, Steak Night, and though he hasn’t been able to part ways with his snow boots, Dave enjoys rocking a pair of shorts in this fine city.

Jessica Kimbrough

Partner/Admin

A mom of two boys, Jessica is an avid reader, ex-project manager, and UGA alum. She’s also Andrew’s little sister. To quote her eldest son, Henry, Savannah is cool because it has “good shrimp, nice houses, and cool trees.” Jessica is always up for loaded nachos. She’s mostly here for the snacks.

Michael Velo

It was a reunion of sorts, when Michael joined the Brochu's family as FOH manager. He first worked alongside Andrew and Sophie over a decade ago at a little Chicago restaurant called Kith & Kin. Michael has been part of the industry his entire life, with notable stints at Sepia, Naha, and Sixteen. He loves spending time with his partner, Cassy, and their beloved pitbulls, Betty and White, who were rescued and relocated from St. Maarten. Michael is especially passionate about wine and believes that French chardonnay is the best of the best.
