Dining - Chef Bryan Dame

A native of New England, Bryan spent the summers of his youth in his grandfather's garden and helping in his grandmother's kitchen. He now strives to preserve Maine's traditional food ways, taking inspiration from the bounty of fresh ingredients available and the local people who provide these foods. With a simple yet elegant and inventive approach to cuisine, his menu is always changing to reflect today's seasonal ingredients.

A graduate of New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, Bryan has also worked at The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia, Opus 251 of Philadelphia, Vermont's Norwich Inn, and in Maine at The Oakland House of Brooksville and Goose Cove Lodge of Deer Isle.
