Famous chef and Bravo’s “Top Chef” head judge Tom Colicchio just opened a brand new restaurant in the Hampton’s, but this time there’s a twist (and it’s a good one)!
Colicchio’s Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton is housed in a restored 1842 Greek revival mansion that will showcase Long Island’s East End farms and even has its own personal 1-acre veggie plot, Newsday reports.
The eatery has been a long time coming for Colicchio, as he has been committed to farm-to-table dining for his entire career.
As seen on “Top Chef” and at his other restaurants, Colicchio promotes fresh, local and seasonal produce, which he will continue at Topping Rose House.
Here’s a small preview of the veggie-inspired dishes. Diners can enjoy roasted peppers and eggplant with grilled lamb or sugar snap peas, wax beans and truffles with striped bass.
Yes, there’s still meat on the plate, but the vegetable portion greatly outshines the meat.
“It’s so great being here in the middle of the farms,” Colicchio said. “We’ll serve about five ounces of meat. People are moving in that direction. I know I am.”
The restaurant is just a small part of the Hampton’s property. It’s part of a boutique hotel complex, which will be home to 22 guest rooms and a spa.

full body massage is basically a gentle movement into yoga-like positions while lying on a padded mat. You will be fully clothed in loose fisherman trousers and a top. The therapist applies pressure to the body using both hands and feet.
Wonderful reading about top chefs of veggie restaurant. I really enjoy this great reading. Thank you for sharing it.
On the one hand, tough competition between establishments is beneficial for visitors – more opportunities, and prices are lower, check out Tim Ho Wan. On the other hand, in such an avalanche-like flow, which is growing every year, it is not always easy to clearly decide which cafe or restaurant to visit to stay satisfied.
