Meet Chef Tim:
With a focus on contemporary cooking and clean flavors, Tim’s cooking philosophy has always been technique driven and ingredient focused. During a long stint at both the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos, Tim was lucky enough to work alongside Chefs such as, Bobby Flay, Todd English and Michael Schlow.
Tim found himself as the Executive Chef at Besito restaurant in Blue Back Square. There he focused on the bright flavors of traditional Mexican cooking. Following a 2 year stint at Cavey’s in Manchester, where he focused on French and Italian cuisine, Tim took over at Union Kitchen in West Hartford. At Union Kitchen he worked to modernize and elevate the menu to offer a mix of creative dishes and familiar standbys.
“I’m beyond exited to be cooking at Gather55 and to give back to a community that has given so much to me.”
