Fresh, Buy Local Chef |

The past four years Chef
Mark generously gave his time and talent to
promote locally grown foods at Hen House
Market's 'Buy Fresh Buy Local' Farmers Table.
Every Saturday during the summer you found Chef
Mark cooking exquisite dishes of local foods for
customers to sample. Chef Mark became Good
Natured Family Farms' ambassador for local foods
and the simplicity of cooking mouth-watering
dishes. Handing out recipes, touting the virtues
of local foods, and sharing |
|
cooking tips with
customers, Chef Mark affirms the
everyday relationships built around food. Chef Mark mixes an eclectic blend
of old world food reverence with a modern sense of convenience and panache to create
savory food that is produced in a sustainable and healthy manner.
Chef Mark Mollentine and his wife Mary own and operate the historic Governors Meeting
House Restaurant, 10910 West 60th Street in Shawnee. |

Jasper
Mirabile Jr. |

An enthusiastic traveler, Jasper has visited
most of the regions of Italy, where he has many
friends and family members. In October 2006, he
led a group of Kansas City residents on a tour
of Florence, Torino and Rome, with visits to
many prominent wineries and restaurants. One
excursion included a |
|
|
|
visit to a farm in
Piedmont where the guests participated in a
truffle hunt. Jasper's Restaurant was founded in April 1954, by Jasper Mirabile, Sr. and his parents, at the corner of 75th & Wornall, a location that was considered, "too far out south" at the time. Each of his four sons joined him in the restaurant as they got old enough, including, in 1984, Jasper, Jr. In 1997, the brothers sold the building and property at 75th & Wornall and built the new Jasper's Italian restaurant and Marco Polo's, an Italian Deli & Trattoria, in The Watts Mill South Center on 103rd Street just east of State Line. JJ is the master chef, managing the kitchen, while his brother Leonard Mirabile runs the daily operations of the business. |
