Supper Club | Jon Sawrie

Join us for a night of exquisite food, engaging conversation, and lively community at Supper Club.

We believe great food should be shared, which is why we invite you to an evening where you can connect and share stories over a meal. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the connections we make and the community we build together, one meal at a time. This month’s Supper Club is with Chef Jon Sawrie.

Tickets are $115 ($105/members), reserve your spot online or with Box Office at (479) 657-2335 today.

Supper Club is a monthly curated dinner series where you’ll enjoy a thoughtfully prepared three-course family-style meal and meaningful conversations with fellow food lovers.

Jonathan was born and raised in the heart of the Arkansas Delta, just a few miles from Memphis, Tennessee. From writing poems and short stories as a child, to majoring in music in college, and finally settling in on his culinary journey, he has always been in pursuit of a creative outlet.

Jonathan’s culinary adventure began in a scratch Italian kitchen in Memphis nearly 25 years ago but has led him to a variety of stops along the way. To experience a wide array of kitchen settings, he has worked in pubs, casual-fine dining, food trucks, events, and spent several years involved in large scale catering for movies, commercials, and backstage at concerts. Jon describes his food as “simply Southern”. When asked what his specialty is, his answer is always the same. “My favorite things to make are my favorite things to eat – anything from the US South all the way down to the tip of South America and everything in between.”.

Jonathan left the Delta for Northwest Arkansas in 2018 with the hope of being a part of the area’s growing food scene. He is currently the chef de cuisine of events at The Great Hall at Crystal Bridges. He and his wife, Taylor, welcomed their first child, Frankie Jo, to this world in April of 2025 and are excited to raise her on their small farm in Southwest Missouri.
