This is a place where creativity thrives in all who bring our premium local ingredients to fruition and showcase our award-winning spirits. Expect each glass and dish to be forward thinking, boundary pushing and emanating excellence in every way.
The Kitchen
Our talented kitchen team is led by Executive Chef Tommy Schafer, who has developed culinary programs for many notable restaurants such as Salt and Smoke of St. Louis, Blue Duck and Blue Violet of St. Louis, and of course The Publik House of Peoria Heights.
His experiences in recognized restaurants all over the Midwest have fueled a passion for food that he is excited to develop at Black Band. “I am excited to share something new with Peoria. Who wouldn’t want to cook for a distillery that produces the best bourbon around?”
Tommy’s cooking style emphasizes seasonal and local produce with dishes that reflect Southern and Midwestern culinary techniques.
