This feature is an ode to the creativity, spirit, and dedication the hospitality community has shown that continues to inspire us. Challenged by the fact that our talented photographer, Ian McCausland, was unable to work on this issue, Jones & Company restaurant partners sent us pictures of feature dishes that you can order (by takeout, and hopefully by the time you are reading this, in-person dining).
