Aug 16 Chefs Night Out: Roxanne Spruance
August 16, 2014 – August 16, 2014
Focus
Chef, champion of Food Network’s Chopped and winner of Slow Food’s coveted “Snail of Approval” award, Roxanne Spruance is known for her whole animal butchery and nose-to-tail approach to cooking that she practiced at Blackbird in Chicago, Wd50, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Her cooking at Kingsley combines both traditional smoking, charring, and pickling—with modernist, molecular techniques to create extraordinary flavor. The menu and cooking class she has designed for LongHouse— her final “chefs night out” before opening Kingsley in Manhattan—does just that!
