Deep Creek Lake Catering at the Jubilee opens in Friendsville
From The Garrett County Republican
FRIENDSVILLE — Deep Creek Lake Catering at the Jubilee is now open for business in Friendsville.
It officially started Feb. 12. Owned by Jamie and Rayetta Riggleman, the restaurant is located at 254 Maple St. at the former Jubilee Junction, which closed in September.
Rick and Tammy Thomas served the Friendsville community for more than 12 years at the Jubilee.
“Everyone we have talked to during this transition had nothing but excellent comments on Jamie’s culinary skills,” the Thomas family recently stated on Facebook. “We encourage the towns people and our past customers to stop by and check out their food and services. Our prayers and wishes are that they will be able to build on the foundation of our past customer base and multiply their business many times over. We would like to thank everyone who supported us during this chapter of our life, and we will miss our loyal friends.”
Chef Jamie Riggleman has been in the food industry for nearly 30 years.
“I’ve cooked; I was a culinary instructor for the state department for a while,” he said. “I’ve worked at a lot of nice resorts.”
He and Rayetta Riggleman started Deep Creek Lake Catering about five years ago. They were based at the Ali Ghan Shrine Club in Cumberland, but their lease recently ended.
