Each month, we will be introducing Cape Coral to one of the great business owners who we are privileged to have here!
Jason has lived in Cape Coral for 29 years and is a graduate of Mariner High School. He has a beautiful 9 month old son, Julian. Originally is from Fairfax, VA, Jason loves living in Cape Coral because it’s a “small, big town where everyone knows everyone.” He enjoys hanging out with friends, going to barbeques, local bars, and playing flag football, softball, and golf.
He has kept busy in his young career. Jason has owned his own mobile bartending company, Top Shelf Bartenders, for 4 years, but decided to grow his business by adding a restaurant to the mix. Big 10 Tavern has only been open a few months; it is a sports bar with great food, all made to order. The premise is Food, Football and Fun! Big 10 caters to the casual sports fans who is looking for great food, but they also are a hit with the industry crowd, staying open late til 2 am every single night. Stop by for the place that all the other food service workers go when they get off work.
“I feel like in my 12+ year bartending career, I have come across some of the best cooks and bartenders and now I have handpicked our bartenders and cooks to do what we have been doing so well.”
Jason also gives back to the community. For Thanksgiving, he fed 100 families Thanksgiving Dinner and was aiming to feed 200 families for Christmas. “My goal is to help as many needy families during the holidays, and other times, and I have now partnered with The Lost Riders to help feed families and kids and anyone with needs.”
Jason’s family is a story in itself. His father is from Uganda, Africa, and his mother’s family is from Italy. Imagine the stories they have to tell! Jason’s goal is to have 50 Big 10 Taverns all over the US in the next 10 years.
Big 10 Tavern is located at 4703 SW 16th Place, just off Chiquita Blvd and Cape Coral Parkway, right next to House of Omelets. You can visit the website at www.big10tavern.com, or call 239-257-1081.
