ST. HELENA

Best New Chef

Food & Wine magazine has selected Katianna Hong of The Charter Oak in St. Helena as one of its 10 Best New Chefs in America 2018.

The chef tends the wood-burning oven at Christopher Kostow’s The Charter Oak after having spent five years working her way up to become the first-ever chef de cuisine in Kostow’s kitchen at The Restaurant at Meadowood.

“We share our garden with Meadowood, and we have that same mentality of trying to highlight seasonal ingredients,” Hong said. “We want to have technique in there, but in a subtle way that allows for a really fun, celebratory, shared dining experience.”
