Food Finds in the Lower Hudson Valley

New Chef at Tavern at the Highlands Country Club

January
2

Just got the word that Eric Gabrynowicz, formerly the sous chef at Union Square Cafe in Manhattan, is the new chef at Tavern in Garrison. He’s kept the raclette on the menu, and it looks like he’s put his farm-to-table stamp on a lot of the dishes. I’ll report back with photos in the near future.

Tavern, 955 Route 9D, Garrison. 845-424-3254. www.highlandscountryclub.net 

Here’s the menu:

Our Farm-to-Table Philosophy at Tavern

A great meal starts with great ingredients.  At Tavern, we strive to find the best local ingredients for our dishes, farmed in a manner that sustains the land for future generations.  Whenever possible, the products that we feature on our menu are raised naturally without the use of chemicals, hormones or antibiotics. We are lucky that many of our vegetables are grown at our sister property, The Garrison, whose two-acre farm supplies us with lettuces, tomatoes and produce during the growing season.

We look forward to the time where all restaurants will look to the resources of the land as the future of their community.

Eric Gabrynowicz, Executive Chef, Highlands Country Club
