Fans of The Farmer’s Daughter may have been worried when the owners announced on April 10 that Jason Bowers and Matt Skudlarek from The Bitter Alibi had acquired the Hixson Pike eatery. The Farmer’s Daughter has become a mainstay in the community for great food and an advocate for local, sustainable farming.
The restaurant will close on May 8 – but will reopen as The Daily Ration, Skudlarek and Bowers said.
Acknowledging that fans of The Farmer’s Daughter are concerned about changes, the two said they’re looking to keep the charm of the place while injecting their own flavor into it.
“We’d like to hold on to the same convictions they had with food and implementing some of the farm-to-table stuff,” said Bowers. “We’ll try to keep what we can, but it’s going to be a different thing.”
The duo said they’re looking forward to offering unique daily specials in fitting with their theme of a daily ration.
