Coleman SelfSous Chef
  • As printed Born and raised in small-town Dyersburg, TN, Coleman fell in love with food in stages. Growing up, every family gathering—whether a regular weeknight, holiday, or vacation—revolved around shared meals, shaping his deep appreciation for food and hospitality. While studying at the University of Mississippi, Coleman’s interest in the culinary world took off during the onset of COVID-19, leading him to a job at Snackbar in Oxford, MS. Immersed in the kitchen, he discovered his passion for the industry from the inside out. This experience inspired him to pursue a formal culinary education, prompting a move to Providence, RI, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts from Johnson & Wales University. In New England, Coleman developed a deep appreciation for seafood and raw preparations, taking full advantage of the region’s abundance. Still, his Southern roots called him home, and he’s thrilled to be back in the South, bringing his expertise to Bayonet while working with top-tier ingredients. In his free time, you’ll find Coleman watching Grizzlies basketball, exploring unique culinary traditions, and hunting down the coldest pitcher of beer in Birmingham. Jessica Glenn Email Front of House Manager Jessica brings a deep passion for hospitality and a keen eye for detail to her role as Front of House Manager at Bayonet. Originally from Jackson, MS, she now resides in Highland Park, Birmingham. Her journey in hospitality began at 15 at Pan Asia, where she first experienced the camaraderie and purpose that would define her career. Most recently, her leadership role at Elvie’s in Jackson shaped her approach—one rooted in compassion, problem-solving, and leading by example. Jessica is excited to be part of a team pushing the boundaries of hospitality while contributing to Birmingham’s vibrant restaurant scene. She’s eager to foster the same sense of community that first drew her to the industry and to continue growing, especially in back-office operations. Outside of work, she enjoys scenic drives, coffee, and antiquing. And despite what most might assume—she’s older than she looks. Dylan Lunsford Email Beverage Director Dylan Lunsford brings a wealth of experience and a passion for hospitality to his role as Beverage Director at Bayonet. Originally from Las Vegas and raised in Pensacola, FL, his career has taken him through Tampa, Reno, and Denver, shaping his approach to service along the way. Driven by a love for food, drink, and creating memorable guest experiences, Dylan values the camaraderie and relationships built in this industry. His background spans a AAA 4-Diamond resort, corporate groups, and locally owned restaurants, giving him a well-rounded perspective on hospitality. Excited to be part of Bayonet’s launch, Dylan is eager to elevate Birmingham’s dining scene while continuing his pursuit of Advanced Sommelier status. His leadership style focuses on humility, fairness, and fostering a supportive team culture.

Garrick HoffmanBar Lead
  • As printed A Birmingham native, Garrick Hoffman’s path to bartending began unexpectedly while working at the front desk at the Aloft Hotel in 2014. When the bar got busy, he stepped in to help—and quickly discovered a love for hospitality and cocktails. That early experience taught him the backbone of the industry: making personal connections with guests and creating moments they’d return for. Over the years, Garrick has continued to refine his craft across a variety of settings. At Aloft, he learned how to run a bar service on his own. At the Grand Bohemian, he was introduced to elevated ingredients and techniques. At the Foxhole Lounge at the Fennec, he experimented with bold flavors and thrived in fast-paced services. Most recently, at House of Found Objects, Garrick embraced the joy of creating uniquely fun experiences while also developing as a leader, managing a team and supporting their growth. At Bayonet, Garrick carries forward an approach he considers essential: “It isn’t about what’s in the glass, but who’s in the seat.” He’s proud to be part of a talented team that pushes creative boundaries while always keeping the guest experience at the center. When he’s not behind the bar, Garrick enjoys an active lifestyle—whether hiking with his dog Nova, playing basketball, or heading to the gym. He’s also a passionate film enthusiast and never says no to frozen drinks or dessert. Come grab a seat at the Bayonet bar and say hello to Garrick — he’ll make sure your experience is one to remember.
