{Dry-aged Rib-eye steak, on the menu at the soon-t0-open Gamlin Whiskey House}
As Derek and Lucas Gamlin prepare to open Gamlin Whiskey House to the public Sept. 30, they find themselves down a chef. Ian Craig, who has worked at their vodka-centric bar and restaurant, Sub Zero, for the last seven years and helped with the menus for Gamlin Whiskey House and sister restaurant Taha’a Twisted Tiki, is no longer executive corporate chef for the Gamlin’s growing businesses.
Lucas Gamlin told The Scoop today that Craig resigned from his position yesterday, Sept. 12, in a mutual parting of ways. Gamlin expressed confidence that the opening of Gamlin Whiskey House will proceed smoothly, noting that the menu is already developed. The Gamlins will begin interviewing candidates for the corporate chef position next week, said Lucas. Craig could not immediately be reach for comment.
While the Gamlins are searching for an executive corporate chef, their search for a pastry chef has ended. Lisa Fernandez-Cruz, formerly of The Restaurant at The Cheshire has come aboard. Fernandez-Cruz will be responsible for desserts at all three Gamlin-owned restaurants.
