Jackson native Chad Segrest, owner of Beagle Bagel Madison and the Atlas Greek Down South food stall at Cultivation Food Hall (1200 Eastover Drive, Suite 125), opened a second food stall at Cultivation on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Honey Hush is located in the space that formerly housed Fete au Fete StrEATery, which closed in December 2019.

Honey Hush serves breakfast until 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and until 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The breakfast menu includes breakfast wraps, fried chicken on yeast rolls, loaded grits, parfaits and more. Gluten-free breakfast items including eggs, bacon and seasonal fruit are also available.

The lunch menu includes BLTs and turkey club sandwiches; catfish, shrimp or pot roast po-boys, shrimp and grits, seared redfish and pot roast fries. Honey Hush also has blue plate specials that include fried chicken or catfish with two sides, a roll and a drink, or a veggie plate with four sides, a roll and a drink.

"I see opening Honey Hush as an opportunity to offer something simple that represents Mississippi," Segrest told the Jackson Free Press. "It's a place that serves great Southern food that can appeal to everybody without trying to reinvent the wheel."

Cultivation Food Hall is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 601-914-0800 or visit the Cultivation Food Hall Facebook page.
