Zero words. Truly. Tonight was everything. 🤍

Congratulations to all of the CNY 40 Under Forty recipients. This group embodies exactly what this award stands for and being in that room tonight was something special.

Special shoutout to my client and one of tonight’s recipients, Marissa Bankey of Stone Creek. So incredibly well deserved. Watching you be recognized for everything you pour into this community gave me all the feels. 🥹

Shoutout to Chef Steve and Cassy for being there too — Marcellus showed up and I love that for us. 😂

And a huge thank you to Jen Cline for this wonderful opportunity. Getting to manage the social for this event and be part of such a meaningful CNY celebration has been an absolute blast from start to finish.

Nights like this remind me exactly why I love this work and this community. 🖤

One year. Full hearts. 🌿

To every guest who walked through our doors, every familiar face at the bar, every friend, family member, and staff member who made this place what it is — thank you. Today meant everything.

Here’s to many more years together.

Some ingredients deserve the spotlight. 🔥

Chef Steve brought his A-game to the Palmer Foods 2026 Summer Preview Food Partner Series — a 24oz Cowboy Ribeye from @palmerfoodservices’ 30-day wet and 30-day dry aging program, finished over open flame, topped with smoked cowboy butter and crispy fried leeks.

This is what happens when great sourcing meets disciplined technique. Proud to be part of the Palmer Partner Series.

11am. Coffee in hand. Camera ready. Let’s go. ☕📸

Every shoot at Stone Creek starts the same way…with a plan. We sit down, map out the menu, talk through what we want to capture and how we want it to feel. That part matters just as much as the shoot itself.

From there it’s straight to the kitchen. Watching the prep happen, capturing the process, finding the moments most people never get to see. The sizzle. The pour. The plating coming together right in front of you.

Then we set the scene and let the food do the talking.

In between the stills we shot a few “how it’s made” videos and if the behind the scenes looks this good, just wait until you see the final cut.

It’s coming. And it is delicious. 🤤

✨ Cheers to the year that shaped me✨

2025 was impactful — personally and professionally. There were highs, a few hard goodbyes (including a great client relationship), and so many unexpected wins. I gained new clients who quickly became more than clients… they became friends. And that’s exactly how I like to do business!

This year also brought a new role I’m incredibly proud of — serving as Board President for Marcellus Together, my community, and seeing firsthand how powerful connection and consistent storytelling can be.

And of course… I added a new member to both my family and my office. My tiniest coworker has already mastered the art of nap-time productivity 💤

I gained new friendships, future partnerships and so much clarity about where I’m headed next. I’m beyond excited to keep building, growing and creating alongside the people and businesses I believe in.

Looking ahead to 2026 with a full heart and just four spots open for social media clients ready to grow with intention!

Here’s to what’s next. 🥂✨

🎥 Behind the kitchen door with Chef Steve 🔥

Have you tried our Crispy Chicken sandwich yet? Watch as Chef Steve walks you through how it’s made!

From the paneed chicken to the hot honey ranch and our house-made garlic dill pickles. 🤤

This one’s layered with flavor and served up with a mountain of golden fries on a toasted brioche bun. It’s a guest favorite for a reason.

We open at 4—come grab one tonight.

Hands! For those of you who are fans of The Bear, you know what I mean. Stonecreek had their friends & family join them as they prepare for their grand opening Monday, July 7! If you dined in this building before, formally Daniel’s Grill, you will see a remodeled version inside. The staff were so warm and welcoming. If they had butterflies, it certainly didn’t show. We started with snazzy cocktails, the Lavender Fizz and The Greenhouse which not only are pretty to look at, they taste just as good! We all enjoyed the calamari, French Dip and Chicken Riggies (omg, all were incredible). And for dessert, we had the Chocolate-covered Banana cream pie and they poured the French press coffee at the table. I think my dad had gone to heaven when he took his first bite. It was so creamy and decadent, but not overly sweet. You will just have to see and taste for yourself! Call for reservations 315-494-1065. #keepitlocal #homegrown #smallbusinessowners

We’re almost there.
Our bar team’s been behind the scenes, hand-prepping every mixer—from scratch-made syrups to our house-juiced green juice 🌿—getting ready to welcome you in.

Stone Creek opens this Monday, 7/7 for dinner service only as we dial in every detail and perfect our flow.
Lunch launches in August. We can’t wait to see you.
