While this company name may not sound entirely familiar to west coasters, anyone that hit up the Hamptons this summer might have frequented hippity hotspots Surf Lodge or the newer Ruschmeyer’s , both of which are King & Grove properties and both of which incorporate sceney restaurants. Former Top Chef contestant Sam Talbot has run Surf Lodge’s kitchen for years, meanwhile Phil Winser and chef Ben Towill of NYC’s The Fat Radish (which very much reminds us of Eveleigh) came onboard to operate edibles at Ruschmeyer’s.
