We just hired a mr lean chatterbox as a sous. I have to train him to do the sous job because I am doing it; however, he is 36 and I am 24 so he must be better lol.

Jack’s Waterfront closed in December 2010, which was around two years after the Jack’s Kitchen Nightmares episode aired on TV. Shortly after the closure, it reopened under new ownership as Dockside Jack’s in March 2011. However, it was permanently closed after a month and the three owners sold it back to the previous owners. As of 2023, a restaurant called Brownies on the Lake is operating in the previous Jack’s Waterfront Michigan location. They have returned back after 14 years and are operated by Andiamo Restaurant Group.
