Copper Beech Inn Announces New Executive Chef Tyler Anderson

The Copper Beech Inn is pleased to announce the appointment of Tyler Anderson as its new executive chef. Chef Anderson, selected by the James Beard House as a New England rising star chef, brings a modern approach to cooking regional comfort foods using seasonal ingredients.

Most recently Anderson was Executive Chef and Director of Food and Beverage at two Rock Resort properties; the Equinox in Manchester, Vermont, awarded four stars by the Mobil Travel guide, and the new Arabelle Hotel, a five-star property in Vail, Colorado. He credits his work with notable chefs such as George Bumbaris and Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Caf� and Chicago's Ritz Carlton as well as Chef Charlie Trotter, as influencing his style and approach to cooking. Chef Anderson is committed to serving seafood, meats and vegetables that have been raised, foraged, farmed or produced within a 150-mile radius of the Inn. Among dishes on his new menu are Fried Chicken Roulade cooked sous-vide with pickled Farmstand Watermelon and braised greens and Connecticut Day Boat Scallops with truffled cream corn and roasted leeks. And now smoked salmon is cured in house and house made bacon will appear on the menu.
