Cooking Video: Upscale NY Restaurant Chef Who Hunts Pheasant in Oxford Shares ...

When Chef David Haviland attended  Walter Panas High School  in Cortlandt Manor, his favorite extra-curricular activity was wrestling. A member of the varsity wrestling team since a freshman, he was named to the All-Westchester County, high-school wrestling team.

He was fond of eating and after graduating from high school, he concluded that more and better opportunities existed in the restaurant industry than in the wrestling profession. So he enrolled in Restaurant Management at  Morrisville State College  (SUNY).

Following graduation, he moved to Albany, NY to cook at  La Serre,  a landmark downtown French/bistro restaurant. He shared an apartment with his brother Charles who was a student at Albany Law School  and another law student–his occasional cooking becoming a fringe benefit for the house mates.  

“At La Serre, I realized what experienced cooks could do and after about a year-and-a-half, I knew if I was going to advance in my career, I needed more training,” Haviland recalls. He enrolled at the prestigious  Culinary Institute of America  in Hyde Park, NY to study for a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree in Culinary Arts. 

When his studies at CIA were completed, Haviland joined the  Rye Town Hilton  in Rye Brook as an entry-level cook and stayed for ten years–the last five as Executive Chef. 

Next he served as Executive Chef at other hotels and spent two years at the  Ridgeway Country Club in White Plains prior to joining the  Castle on the Hudson  in Tarrytown in 2003, home of the award-winning Equus restaurant.  

Dishes high on the summer popularity list

In his eight years at the Castle, Haviland has created many dishes. The following are being offered this summer:

Perhaps this was the beginning of my Generation X Internet business opportunities.
