When I took my first job as a cook at age 16, I knew I was headed for a career in restaurants. After several decades in the hospitality field, in November 2013 I opened an establishment of my own, ROTISSERIE GEORGETTE. Located at 14 East 60th Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the warm and inviting rôtisserie restaurant served fine quality roasted meats and poultry cooked over open flames. The abundant vegetables and home style desserts evolved constantly with the seasons. ROTISSERIE GEORGETTE, with its “Louis XV meets the kitchen” interiors, struck a balance between rustic and refined with a decidedly French accent. The main character on the stage was our partly open kitchen’s rôtisseries, with their moist and juicy roasts turning seductively as they cook. We served lunch, brunch, dinner and cocktails in our bar room, dining room and in the private “Rotisserie Table” room. I must thank my former colleague, Katina Dermatas, with whom I planned and built the restaurant and who served as our operations director for our launch. After six wonderful years at the helm of Rotisserie Georgette, I determined it was time to move on to the next chapter of my career in hospitality. The metrics of operating a traditional full service restaurant in Manhattan had evolved in a direction that made it time to refresh and restart my approach. I made the bittersweet decision to close Rotisserie Georgette as of 12/31/19, following the close of a strong fourth quarter. Stay tuned as I take my next steps I’m a life in hospitality.
