UPDATE: Jason resigned from the Executive Chef and Operating Partner of Kitchen Six in October 2019. He continues to offer chef services through Homespun while working on additional culinary projects.
Jamie and I have pursued our passion for serving wholesome food and providing exceptional hospitality to metro Atlanta for the past 4 years with Homespun. We have brought intimate dining into hundreds of homes where are guests were able to enjoy a great meal with their loved ones. The mission has always been to create an experience that would bring community back around the table.
It is with great anticipation that we transition Homespun to a new home. This fall we will be opening a restaurant in the heart of the North Decatur neighborhood- Oak Grove. Created for the community by the community the restaurant, Kitchen Six, will be a casual, fine dining eatery offering an intentionally limited menu by providing an elevated but approachable selection. Driven by highly seasonal ingredients will allow us to continue creating quality and thoughtful dishes.
There were some key elements that we wanted in a restaurant, and with this opportunity, we have the honor of partnering with individuals passionate about their neighborhood. We will be offering food that is authentic without being pretentious, creating an atmosphere where great conversation and food can be enjoyed alongside neighbors, friends, and families. We see Kitchen Six being a place where we can provide genuine hospitality as if we were inviting you into our own home.
With an intimate sixty seat dining room and bar, Kitchen Six will strive to create a unique experience for Oak Grove locals and the surrounding Atlanta area. Concentrating on dinner service and Sunday brunch, we hope the gathering spot is a favorite to enjoy Homespun's familiar seasonal cuisine. The full bar will be the ideal place to relax over handcrafted cocktails, wines and locals beers.
Homespun will still be operating as the restaurant's catering and private chef service. Continue to use our website to inquire about bookings.

This past weekend, Jason had the honor of sharing a recipe from the Kitchen Stage at the Country Living (Magazine) Fair at Stone Mountain Park.

Procedure
For Glazed Sorghum Sweet Potatoes*
- Preheat Oven to 400 F.
- Place an oven safe large saute pan (I always use this Lodge 12-inch Skillet) on stove top, add grapeseed oil. Begin placing the sweet potatoes flat in the pan and begin searing them once the pan is hot. About 3-4 minutes
- Add butter, sorghum*, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and rosemary sprig. Allow to come to a boil and then place in the oven for about 8-10 min. If you can't source sorghum you can substitute with honey or molasses syrup.
- Once sweet potatoes are tender carefully remove from oven and flip sweet potatoes over. Place pan back onto the stove and reduce to glaze the sweet potatoes. Once glazed, set aside to reserve.
* This step can be done before and reheated in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes before serving.
For Brussels and Apple Saute
- Begin heating up a large saute pan over medium heat.
- To begin sauteing, add grapeseed oil and brussels bulbs to caramelize. About 2-3 minutes.
- Then add butter, apples, onions, and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Be sure to stir and rotate veggies periodically.
- Stir in brussels leaves then add stock. Season with salt, black pepper, and drizzle sherry vinegar.
To Assemble Dish
- Spread apple butter on the bottom of a large platter. Layer glazed sweet potatoes around the edge. Place sautéed brussels and apples in the middle finish with chopped parsley OR
- Spread apple butter on the bottom of a large platter. Fill the dish with sautéed brussels and apples, top with glazed sweet potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley (as seen in photo).
