CRAFTSMANSHIP

Creativity is the prime focus at First & Main, and it shows in our
ever-changing menu and vibrant space. We believe in boundless expression — through our menu, through the connection that comes from sharing a meal, and through being a spirited member of the community. It’s fitting that First & Main is on the corner of an intersection. We hope it becomes your favorite meeting place.

COMMUNITY

Everyone is part of the community at First & Main. Come on your own, with a friend, or with a group — however you arrive, you’ll find a place at our communal table. Try new tastes while sharing small plates. Meet new friends and mingle with old neighbors. Linger a little and order another round, another plate.

JENNIFER DOERKSEN | C0-OWNER

Jennifer started as a home chef with a passion for good food and good friends. Her culinary prowess led to the creation of Bistro 234 in 2001 and is a reflection of Jennifer’s own, so it’s no surprise that her personal warmth has resonated and made this restaurant a local landmark.

With her most recent venture, First & Main, Jennifer is eager to offer Turlock and the region a restaurant unlike any other.

LEROY WALKER | CHEF AND CO-OWNER

First & Main is Chef LeRoy Walker’s passion project, started from scratch and prepared with the expert craftsmanship that Chef LeRoy has become known for over his 35 years in the kitchen.

First & Main is a culinary journey that draws from a pantry stocked with fresh ingredients and LeRoy’s own inspiration. His attention to detail and dedication to local dining shows through in a menu unlike any other in the city.

Chef LeRoy’s wife, spice expert Mohini Singh, has been a tremendous inspirational genius behind the evolution of our First & Main flavor profiles. The pair are truly a force.
