Thank You!

Heading into our last weekend at Wolfert's Roost I wanted to stop and reflect on the past 2 years.

First off, we all want to thank the many guests who have enjoyed the Roost with us. The outpouring of love and happy faces was something we loved every day. We always wanted the Roost to be a welcome special place and it was wonderful to know that we made it that for so many people.

The team of hardworking people who have made the Roost go never ceases to amaze me. Lindsay, Meg, Benji, Victoria, Erik, Jorge, Oscar Marcella and many others have each put in so much hard work and love. They took the Roost from a kitchen and an idea and turned it into a thriving reality.

Most important, I want to stop and talk about Will and Jennie.

My brother Will started working with me when he was 15. He had never picked up a knife or cooked anything more than a piece of toast. Working for so many years with family isn't always the easiest, but when I step back- the pride and enjoyment I've gotten watching him grow into a talented young chef while working at the Roost has been one of my favorite things about these past 2 years.

Jennie and I graduated from culinary school together with big dreams. We always said we wanted to cook together and somehow it became a reality. For both of us, opening this restaurant was a dream come true - and we couldn't be more proud of what we built and accomplished. The opportunity to cook with Jennie, watch and learn from her everyday is something will be special to me forever.

Over the last 2 years, I have received a lot of recognition and accolades for Wolfert's Roost. It's always made me feel a bit strange having my name tied to it so much - Jennie, Will and the team are what made the Roost the place it became. Their talent, love and hard work is what earned all of the praise Wolfert's Roost received.

So... Will, Jennie and I are closing a restaurant that when we opened was a dream come true for us. While it's a bittersweet moment, we are all in agreement that it's mission accomplished. We have done everything we set out to do with the Roost and it's time to high five and head off into our new dreams.

Jennie will one day soon have an amazing restaurant on the North Fork of Long Island, Will is ready to spread his wings and continue growing and I'm thrilled to be opening Slice Shop. Our lives and dreams have changed and we did not want the Roost to have change into something different.

I want to say thank you again to everyone who has been part of our experience at the Roost. It's been a wonderful ride that will shape us for the rest of our lives.

Enjoying these last few nights!

We have some pretty big news that we want to share with you, our friends and family. First off, we are excited and eager to announce the opening of Slice Shop. Located on Main Street across from the school, at 106 Main Street; Slice Shop is going to be our version of a modern take-out and delivery Pizza joint and new-American kitchen. While giving a refreshing face lift to both the traditional look and feel of the pizza spot in every town, Slice Shop will serve delicious New York style slices and pies along with some new favorites like our fried chicken wings, fun salads, grain bowls, and great sandwiches. We're truly excited about our new venture and can't wait to bring great pizza and casual fare to Irvington.

At the same time that we share this exciting announcement, we also have some news to share that we know will disappoint many of you.

As we open Slice Shop, we've decided that we'll also be transitioning Wolfert's Roost, which will no longer operate as a restaurant as of October 31st. We will continue to use the Wolfert's Roost space for Catering, Private Events, and to host some legendary Pop-Up Restaurants. We've absolutely loved our run at the Roost and could not be more proud of what we've done and the food we've served. Our experience and the friends we've made will have a special place in our hearts forever. While we have a continuing love for the restaurant and what we're doing, we've come to the conclusion that as our focus has changed- with new babies, new catering facilities and many other ideas in the works- the project of running Wolfert's Roost has run its course. Instead of falling out of love with the Roost, or letting it play second fiddle to our other passions, we are deciding to walk away at a time where Wolfert's is still something very special.

Check out this article from Westchester Magazine for some more info on whats happening.
