@tylerjonscott has started some pretty awesome family traditions in 2020. Cooking a meal over the fire from morning until dinner time is one of them. Last night we bundled up and celebrated the first snow with our loved ones by eating chicken stew outside as the snowflakes fell and it was amazing #familyiseverything #getoutside #outdoorcooking #foodforthesoul

Mornings are hard, but they can be made better with a delicious cup of coffee and eggs benny Julie is like her Mommy - grumpy in the morning until breakfast! See you today from 10-2pm for brunch Space available in the dining room & backdoor pickup is always an option! (Online ordering launches half an hour before we open with the option to pre-order in the notes) #saturdaymorning #rareexperience #localrestaurant #rarebrunch

As we enter into the yellow-protect level we want our customers to know the following info Our max capacity we are allowing indoors is half the requirement that the Ontario government is allowing at the protect level (25 seats/ 8 tables that are rarely full all at once - this new enforcement caps public events and gatherings at 50). On another note: We’ve always maintained our table max reservation at six people. Anyone looking to book over this requires 6ft between eac...h table just like everyone else who dines in our space. Our customers have been incredibly wonderful & supportive of this protocol - thank you for understanding our comfort levels during this time Additionally our servers will be equipped with both mask and eye protection on shift We are doing everything in our power to offer a safe and comfortable dining experience - I’m so proud of our employees and their resilience through this time. We truly have the best staff and we are so thankful for their hard work at Rare. We’ve become more than just a team. We are family here We knew the second wave would come and we made sure to be fully prepared with our Rare x Tyler Scott Fried Chicken menu. It’s takeout friendly and we ENCOURAGE our backdoor pickup system to enjoy our food from the comfort of your own home As always we are in this together. Whether you feel comfortable coming into our space or you’d rather be in your own - we respect your decisions and we are thankful for your business. Our hearts go out to the many wonderful restaurants and bars in our community who continue to push on during these trying times. Exhaustion has set in and we are all running on our passion here. None of us are in this industry for fun. We all have a dream and we all dedicate our lives work to making that dream a reality. Stay safe, kind and respectful of your neighbours. We can’t thank you enough for believing in us. We strive on to make PTBO proud -Kassy & Tyler Scott

Re-post from @thefoodhighlanders with our backdoor food for pickup!! Thanks so much for your support Some fun facts about our backdoor takeout: Hours are Tuesday-Friday 12pm to 10pm. Saturday brunch from 10-2pm and Saturday dinner from 4-10pm. Sunday brunch 10-2pm. The online menu goes live 1/2 an hour before we open for the day. When making online orders there is an option to request a pickup time in the note section of your order if there is an issue we will call back... to reschedule a time that works within our covid protocol. Although technology is super cool, it doesn’t always work and in that case we always want you to call the restaurant! 705-742-3737 If for some reason we can’t get to the phone (operating with reduced staff members during brunch, lunch and dinner hours) please leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can #rareexperience #localrestaurant #backdoorpickup #peterboroughontario

Just a few short words. Mark your calendar. October 16th 2020 #rareexperience #localrestaurant #peterboroughontario

Since the beginning of the pandemic our kitchen crew has had a unique vinyl setup. It started with a couple records here and there. Eventually it grew into so much more. An obsession if you will. We can’t count how many times we’ve been to Blue Streak since March Recently Tim hooked us up with these incredible totem rainmaker speakers for the dining room so that we can jam everywhere in the restaurant. Music has truly helped us cope with the weight of Covid-19. As we move closer to launching our next phase of plans for the restaurant I can’t help but feel a sense of comfort #expecttheunexpected #rareexperience #localrestaurant #supportlocal 10/16/20

To be fully human is to know that it’s possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other @martinsfruitandveggies we love these gorgeous birds that you gifted us more than you’ll ever know Big things are coming 11/16/20 #rareexperience #localrestaurant #peterboroughontario

THANKSGIVING HOURS: We will be open this week Tuesday/Wednesday 5-9pm + Thursday/Friday/Saturday 5-10pm We will be closed next week (13th-16th) Tuesday/Wednesday + Thursday to take a well deserved break and also...... to prep...... an entire NEW MENU We have big news that we are excited to share with you. We started the week with heavy hearts - worried about what this next chapter would hold for our restaurant. We’ve climbed so many obstacles already and the thought ...of going through another feels scary. We felt that push. The kind where you know it’s time to change something before the inevitable happens. The feeling that it’s time to leave our comfort zones yet again. To reach out into the universe and shock everyone with an updated plan. That’s all I can say at this time, but stay tuned for lots of teasers! We aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. The Rare team is about to level up and face the late Fall/Winter months with a vengeance you’ve never seen before!! #rareexperience #localrestaurant #peterboroughontario See more

Monday’s are for coffee... and all the other back end things that go into running a small biz. This is me eye rolling @tylerjonscott as we do our typical who-made-the-best-cappuccino contest. Aka he’s checking in on my skills and it turns out that this Mama can’t froth milk very well under pressure - I’ve been spending too much time at home, but it tastes delish and that’s all that matters We’ve got a lot on our minds as October begins to unravel. Always trying to think ahead of the game, but in this case not knowing what to expect makes that a bit difficult Thanks for supporting us on this journey. The next few months are going to be really hard, but we know in our hearts that we will get through it together. -K&T #rareexperience #peterboroughontario #localrestaurant

He let me cook on the Jim Bowie mini smoker this weekend and it’s kind of a huge deal. Mainly because I never cook (actually terrible at it) - I mean why would I practice when my husband is the chef around here?! But to be honest I’m starting to get tired of that excuse - I’m a badass and I’m pretty sure I could work the smoker if I really tried to Sometimes I want to be the person that takes care of my person with comfort food. I can be stubborn, especially when I ma...ke my mind up about something I want to change and I really don’t like to ask for help because I struggle to be independent. Especially when it comes to cooking. Not a good match when your partner is a chef for a living Anyways - I demanded to make our lunch at the trailer with fire in my eyes and he agreed. We had beautiful Waygu burgers from @onefinefood. And even though it probably made him cringe on the inside watching me figure it out - he let me. And that my friends is true love. I didn’t burn or overcook them and @tylerjonscott got to relax for once It’s never too late. I will absolutely let him cook for me for the rest of my life, but the satisfaction of doing things myself here and there feels pretty darn good. #foodisourlovelanguage
