Jared Brewington has had quite the year. Not only did he have to shut down a restaurant but his very identity as a black man became under attack, once again, during one of the biggest race movements of all time. Thankfully, he’s had a chance to escape all the noise under the trees at his farmland in Cologne, MN.

I drove 45 minutes west from St. Paul to visit Jared, a good friend of mine, to talk about how he has been processing this year and what’s coming next.

As of right now, Jared has no physical restaurant that you can support. However, he is in the process of reviving some old concepts (Funky Grits, Thigh Times Birdhouse) and starting a new one (family restaurant in Cologne).
