Chef Ken Addington is a veteran of some of New York City’s most renowned restaurant kitchens including the Ace Hotel, Picholine, Patroon and Town restaurant in the Chambers Hotel, which he opened with chef Geoffrey Zakarian, receiving three stars from The New York Times. At Strangeways, which Addington opened with his partner, Jamie, during the COVID-19 pandemic as a safe and welcoming outdoor dining experience, he serves an eclectic menu of rustic American dishes inspired by his travels abroad and the diverse food landscape of New York City. In this episode, we discuss how an opportunity at the age of 16 led him to his long career path in the culinary world, living and working in New York during some of the most difficult times and opening up a new restaurant mid-pandemic in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
