It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Five Forks. It has been an amazing 15-year run, and we are incredibly proud of what we accomplished. Five Forks created a community of guests that will truly be missed. And, none of what was accomplished would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the amazing staff members we had over the years. The world runs on good people doing good things, and our little “restaurant that could” is a perfect example of this. The talent that went through our kitchen was truly world-class. Stephanie (Cheney) Lindeman was the first to lead the kitchen, and she got Five Forks headed down the right path. We will be forever grateful to her as well as the incredible culinary talents of John Branyan, Sue Cunningham, Kyle Hevrin, Scott Carlson and Carlos Concepcion for helping Five Forks improve with each passing year. The search to find good people who are also talented in the kitchen was daunting, and we will put up any of those amazing people against anyone else in the kitchen. And our lineup of servers was second-to-none. Starting with the early days of Stacey, Tina, Kristin, Jordan, Meredith, Steph and Angie to the Kellie, Linda, Marcy and Patty years, through the years of Colleen, Sherry, Catie, Olivia and the boys, Dan, Dan (or is that Scott?), Dave and Scott (or is that Dan?). You will all be missed, and we love you all. Stay safe. Love your family, friends and neighbors. Be kind. Peace.
Love, Randy and Betsy
