With multiple events, The Bristol Lounge and 65 chefs to oversee, you'd
think Executive Chef Brooke Vosika might wash his hands of culinary pursuits
away from the office. On the contrary, he prefers to keep them busy: "art
and gardening - making my own wines, sauces, ciders and more - are my passions.
For me, it's about learning and preserving history. I want my children
to know that this is how you grow asparagus, and this is how good it can
taste."
When not overseeing the "choreographed chaos" of the Bristol
Lounge and banquet kitchens, Vosika can be found tending to his organic
garden and orchards in upstate New York. "I spent summers there and
fell in love with the freshness and abundance of food," he recalls
of his youthful days cooking alongside his grandfather, a founding member
of the Woodstock art community. On a given Saturday, Vosika can be found
inviting friends over to boil sap into maple syrup or press apples into
cider. And his personal wine label, Sawkill Creek, is now in its third
vintage: "My plan is to create a bottle that can be appreciated right
next to the expensive ones, with no regard to labels."
Vosika's love of farm to table extends right to the Four Seasons Boston
kitchens: "we house age our meats, hand roll our pastas, and have
a commitment to using the freshest local ingredients. Guests love knowing
that what they're eating came from a farm right nearby."
