Spencer is a very humble and quiet man and does not think of himself as a chef. However, his culinary abilities are exquisite and his daily specials delicious. Some include rack of lamb, pulled pork and pineapple, and filet mignon with bacon wrapped shrimp. Both Spencer and Kelley were very instrumental in the early stages of Tavern on the James formation, including building and construction, pre-opening activities on holidays,staff recruitment,and menu preparation.
