Chef Jasper J. Mirabile Jr. talks about the family business

Frank Sinatra’s voice floats slowly and softly out of the speakers inside the office at Jasper’s Restaurant every night at 5 p.m. He is singing “My Way,” the same song that played at founder Jasper Mirabile’s funeral in 1998, the father of current chef and co-owner Jasper J. Mirabile Jr.

“It’s been that way every night since opening night,” Mirabile says. “And it’s not even our tape, but it’s how I know my dad’s watching what we do here. That I better be on my game because there’s a lot of tradition to uphold.”
