Don’t mistake the unassuming prepared-foods case at Joe’s Next Door as ordinary; there’s serious culinary muscle behind the counter. Chef Jon Radford owned The Gathering in Geist before taking over the kitchen operation at Joe’s, where he works alongside Jason Cornelius, former executive chef at the Milano Inn, and pastry chef Danielle McQuoid, who logged time as the head baker at The Flying Cupcake. Between the team’s fresh daily offerings and the locally made products on the shelves, you can grab the right meal for any to-go occasion.
