WELCOMING THE MODERN’S SANDRO ROMANO AND GRAMERCY TAVERN’S CHRISTOPHER BRADLEY
Guest Chefs Will Join the Lodge’s Brian Sutton to Lead Packed Farm-to-Table Themed Itinerary Celebrating New York State Cuisine and Libations
Lake Placid Lodge is pleased to announce its first annual Gastronomic Getaway weekend taking place Thursday, October 21 to Sunday, October 24, 2010. Playing off the Aesop fable, “The City Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Sandro Romano of The Modern, Christopher Bradley of Gramercy Tavern and Jean-Luc Le Du, owner of Le Du’s Wines and former Chef Sommelier of Daniel, will leave New York City and spend a weekend in the country with guests at the Lodge. The visiting chefs will work closely with Lake Placid Lodge’s Executive Chef, Brian Sutton, as they look at food and beverage from a different perspective. Limited to mainly New York State products and working with the Lodge’s farm-to-table philosophy, the weekend will be a multi-dimensional epicurean experience, providing a platform for guests to fully engage themselves with the chefs, as well as local and New York State vendors and producers.
In addition to three extraordinary multi-course dinners prepared by the visiting chefs, the weekend’s itinerary will include such experiences as:
- One on one time with the chefs in and out of the kitchen
- Discussion panels revolving around the state of food and beverage in New York and trends
- Wine, beer and spirit tastings as well as lessons in mixology
- Hiking and foraging
- A breakfast canoe trip to an Adirondack island
- The reinvention of the s’more and a BBQ competition between the chefs
- Local cheese/dairy farm, brewery, and maple sugar farm tours
- Tour of a nationally recognized local school focused on responsible agricultural practices
Additionally, a renowned guest speaker from the culinary world will be on-site to lead discussions and share with guests their vast expertise and perceptions on current food trends and news including the state of the locavore movement and “upstate/downstate” sustainable agriculture practices.
Guests have two opportunities for experiencing the Gastronomic Getaway weekend. The first is a package covering the entire weekend of festivities. The package cost is $2,995 per couple and includes three nights lodging, breakfast, all activities, wine and spirit pairings, and three multicourse dinners prepared by the renowned chefs. The second opportunity is a daily package for $150 per person, per day and includes all activities, and a multicourse dinner with wine pairings.
