Gabe’s cooking celebrates what it means to be at Troutbeck — both in this distinct corner of the Hudson Valley and at each moment of the season. We’ve long been moved by the food he puts out and the way it encourages pleasure and presence here, but garnering the attention of the James Beard Foundation, especially in a year when particular attention has been paid to diversity both of makers and of their offerings, feels especially great.

We commend Gabe and are full of gratitude to the team of cooks and servers, managers and back waiters, who together make our guests’ dining experience excellent. An award like this acknowledges the success of a team, and we are so proud of ours.

Congratulations, Gabe! Thank you for being our culinary leader.
