Meet Erik

Twenty years of kitchens, one table at a time

I trained at Le Cordon Bleu and have spent more than twenty years cooking — in small independent restaurants and cafes, hotels, country clubs, and catering kitchens. Every one of them taught me something, but the cooking I love most is the kind you'd want to sit down to at home.

That's what I bring to your table: homestyle comfort food with a French twist, made almost entirely from scratch. Sauces built the long way. Bread from a local sourdough. Bison, mushrooms, and goat cheese from people who live here too. I want every plate to taste like the place it came from.

“Cooking is an expression of self via food. It can set the tone for the whole day or make a stressful day fade away.” — Erik Lyngso
