616 Ten: EP8 | Raphael Jones @gardendistrcitgr

This week on The 616 Ten, Michael sits down with Raphael Jones, chef and co-owner of Garden District.

We talk food, family, New Orleans roots, and what it means to cook in a way that makes people stop, close their eyes, and feel something. This isn’t just a conversation about what’s on the plate—it’s about memory, culture, and creating a space that feels like home.

If you love great food, real stories, and Grand Rapids culture, this one’s for you.
