CIA-trained Executive Chef Tim Lang to offer innovation & comfort in Catskills setting
Hunter, NY – Tim Lang, Executive Chef of VanWinkle’s Restaurant has reworked Van Winkle’s winter menu to provide eclectic comfort food with an upscale twist. Some new menu items include Thai Chicken Stir-Fry, Potato and Cheddar Pierogies with Andouille Sausage and Caramelized Onion and Braised Veal Osso Bucco. His Ultimate Pumpkin Cheesecake and Bananas Foster Bread Pudding will make an appearance on the re-vamped dessert menu. To compliment them, VanWinkle’s will now be serving Mountain Grove coffee. VanWinkle’s will also be carrying over some guest favorites from the existing menu, such as the Chicken Saltimbocca, Portobello and Crimini Mushroom Raviolis with Roasted Butternut Squash and the Colossal Crab Cake.
Tim Lang, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a native of the Windham and Catskill Mountain area, has been gracing the VanWinkle’s kitchen with his visionary approach since December of 2010. His style of cooking is mostly an Italian/French mix with some light Mediterranean/Caribbean flair.
“I want our guests at VanWinkle’s to have a memorable comfort food experience,” Tim explains. “It’s not typical comfort food. I am very pleased with the new menu, and am confident that it will offer the experience we are striving for.”
