Top Chef Masters Carmen Gonzalez Joins KH Kitchen Team

Summer Just Got A Little Hotter at Crabtree's Kittle House!

Top Chef Masters Carmen Gonzalez Heats Up the Kittle House Kitchen and Introduces Her Latin-Style Cooking to the Hudson Valley.

This Thursday, July 8th, Top Chef Master, TV host, cookbook author, restaurateur, our friend and super-talented Chef Carmen Gonzalez joins the Kittle House kitchen team for the summer months of July and August as we feature her delicious, bold-flavored, latin-style cooking on our dining room and tap room menus.

Chef Carmen, a native of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, is one of America's top chefs of latin-influenced cuisine and she is looking forward to combining her unique use of traditional ingredients and artful presentation with the cuisine of Crabtree's Kittle House and the many small, artisan farmer's products we use in our kitchen.

We will offer several of Chef Carmen's favorite, signature dishes every day for lunch and evening for dinner in the Tap Room and in the main dining room.

Here are just a few dishes that Chef Carmen and the KH Kitchen Team have been working on:
