It’s Jack – you know, Jack…from Jack’s Gastropub!
I shouldn’t’ really be blogging about this, but there’s something I need to talk to you about.
There’s something going around here. Let’s just say, there’s been a bit of buzz in the air and some weird things going on.
Normally, I wouldn’t think anything of it, but this morning I walked in to Jack’s and saw twelve monkeys playing Blackjack. There they were, smoking cigars, giggling, and flipping cards.
OK… Fine… Still not that bizarre….
But there was one monkey, and hand after hand he was hitting blackjack!! Every time… 21….21.. 21……21. He was the luckiest fella I’d ever seen! I even snapped a picture of him.
Anyways, that’s all I can say for now. Watch your email tomorrow morning at around 9am for a very important message. Trust me, you’re not going to want to miss this.
Your friend,
Jack @ Jack’s Gastropub.
P.S. If you’re a night-hawk, check out this page tonight at midnight. But for the love of monkeys everywhere, don’t share this link with strangers. They might just go bananas.
Did Someone Say Bacon?
Jack’s is excited to announce the Butcher’s Dinner Series with Local Butcher, Jamie Waldron.
Our first series is scheduled for Monday, February 27th and at 7PM we’re taking reservations now.
Why are we hosting these dinners?
Because we’re interested in serving Jack’s customers the highest quality local meats, but also educating our customers on the importance of supporting local farmers, and that means knowing the source of your meat, and the care that’s gone into butchering it.
And of course, we’re always up for a good time.
Enter Jamie Waldron.
Jamie is a local butcher who’s determined to bring the people of Windsor/Essex County quality meats from local sources. Jamie, who grew up in the area, but left to work with one of top butcher shops in the GTA has returned to Windsor/Essex County, and we’re fortunate to have him back. He’s currently running a local meat share program which you can learn more about from his website at JamieWaldron.com
He’s a guru when it comes to meat, and he’s an expert when standing at the butcher’s block.
And much like our Beer Club – We want to bring you not only an evening of delicious food, but knowledge from people who specialize and excel in specific areas. We bring in the best, you show up, and we’ll take care of the rest.
You’ll actually witness Jamie in action breaking down a side of pork, and introducing us to the various primal cuts. (And for those of you wondering if you need to wear a hasmat suit and galoshes… no, we’re not slaughtering a pig before your eyes, the animal will be ready-to-butcher…)
Our goal for the evening is for us all to leave with a better understanding and appreciation of where our meat really comes from, taking the mystery out of choosing the right meat for dinner, and the art and skill of butchery.
Meanwhile, back in the Jack’s kitchen, our team will be preparing a 4-course pork-heavy, and thankfully so, tasting dinner for guests to enjoy during the evening. You’ll also enjoy a carefully chosen and paired glass of wine or beer with your meal.
To reserve seats: call us at 519.733.6900. Space is limited and we don’t expect the seats to last long.
The cost is only $40 bucks per person. Oink, Oink! What a deal.

Welcome to the 13 Day of Christmas…
Got your Saturday morning coffee? Here’s a quick story…
So the phone rings at Jack’s the other day… And this guy wants to know if he can order the 6th day of Christmas Promo even though we’re now on to 8th day.
We politely explain that with this promo each offer was only available for 24 hours… That’s it…That’s all…
And he shouts back “DUDE, DON’T BE SUCH A GRINCH” before hanging up on one of our servers.
But then we got to thinking…
It is after all, Christmas.
And to be perfectly honest, the phone has been ringing off the hook with people who missed a certain 24 hour period for whatever reason. Of course everyone who called was as polite as you could imagine….except the grinch guy.
So here it – the 13th day… For our friends who were a bit less “Scroogey” with us over the last 12 days.
24 Hours Only.
You have one last shot at grabbing any of the 12 Day’s of Christmas … again…. Feel free to grab the offer of your choice below.
With Christmas only 8 days away, this might help you finish off your shopping.
