BRUH S2, E1 (PART 1): Raphael Jones (Garden District, Grand Rapids)

Season 2 is officially back — and we’re coming in locked in (or as Mike calls it: SITP… Stay In The Pocket). In this premiere episode, Mike and Tony kick off 2026 with a new mindset, a few laughs, and a serious guest to set the tone for the year: Chef Raphael Jones, owner of Garden District in downtown Grand Rapids. Raphael breaks down how Garden District came to life as a husband-and-wife vision with his wife Jessica, why the restaurant feels like stepping into someone’s home in New Orleans, and how the details — from the photos on the wall to the “shotgun” layout — are rooted in real memories and real places.
