"The food at Luminary Kitchen & Provisions in Springfield is several different kinds of “ecstatic,” whether it’s a profound and glossy lamb ragu with housemade pasta, or creamy grits and sucotash-y stew coating pork shoulder rendered just so as though by the hand of a divine power. This would all be hyperbole if it weren’t just so simply how things are — even a humble charcuterie board elicits the kind of genuine gasps not heard since that little boy first told audiences he saw dead people. And when you think about it, isn’t that the perfect antidote for 2024? Reactions that aren’t reel but…real? Luminary Kitchen & Provisions is the reason why terms like “a chef’s chef” have come into existence, entering the vernacular with intentional redundancy and born out of necessity to differentiate today’s fame-seeking chefs of social media and TV cooking competitions from chefs who focus their confidence and skills instead on cooking food that makes their guests happy. Chefs Aurora and Jordan Coffey clearly wear that label with pride while on a mission to keep their guests and their community both well-fed and happy." - Timothy DePeugh
