This Week at the Market
Sunday, August 29th, 2010
Chef at Market:
Executive Chef Victor
Cirrincione at 11:00 a.m.,
Assisted by Chefs de Cuisine Marta Munoz and Frank Clyatt
After successfully training at Adirondack Community College, Victor enjoyed a stellar career at many popular dining venues. These include the Sagamore Resort in New York, the Equinox Hotel in Vermont, the Boar's Head Inn, the Kingsmill Resort, and the Inn at Little Washington, a 5-Star, 5-Diamond Inn located in Virginia.
According to Chef Victor, honesty is the most important quality a good chef can have. A chef who can stand by his product,
(good or bad), admit to his faults, be humble with his successes, and recognize those who helped make him successful is a chef who will have a promising career. At Riderwood I enjoy the interaction I have every day with the people I serve. They're really a joy to be around.
Last Week's Chef's Demo: Thanks To Our Producers
Isabel Maples' demonstration and sampling for Children's Day was greatly assisted by donations of cilantro from Penn Farm, peaches from Falcon Ridge, and honey from Banner Bee. Thanks, folks!
