Proprietor & Chef, Harrison Schailey
Originally raised in the city of “brotherly love”, Chef Harrison made his way to Penn State University as a college freshman where he began a culinary adventure that would eventually take he and Kit Henshaw, his spouse and business partner, to San Francisco where they experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work on the life-changing San Francisco Garden Project.
This Project instilled a unique appreciation for restaurant-supported agriculture, environmentally sound growing practices and running a socially responsible business. Simply put, they had the privilege to train and apprentice with some of the best Bay Area restaurants and chefs (Chez Panisse, Mustards Grill, and others). From these experiences, they learned important and valuable lessons about providing customers with the best tasting food and, as much as possible, supporting the local community.
Upon returning to Centre County, Chef Harrison and Kit began building a local business that began as “Harrison’s To-Go”, an upscale carryout concept well ahead of this current trend and evolved into an award-winning restaurant and full-service catering business. In 2016, this respected hospitality partnership acquired Mt. Nittany Overlook, formerly Above the Valley Event Center and historically known as the Mt. Nittany Inn located at the summit of Mt. Nittany.
Year after year, Harrison’s has been awarded the title of Best Caterer of State College by the readers of State College Magazine. Through it all “Eat Well” has been the basis of every ingredient found in any menu created, crafted and served by our experienced culinary team in any area of our business. It is our pleasure to serve you and offer you the opportunity to "Eat Well!".
