Food and Beverage Magazine recently announced that Charlie Palmer Group vet Jeffrey Russell will be the opening chef for Charlie Palmer Steak in Napa. The steakhouse is slated to open in 2017 at the forthcoming Archer Hotel in Napa.
Russell has previously been chef at Charlie Palmer Steak in Washington, D.C.
“At Charlie Palmer Steak Napa, Chef Russell draws on his vast experience with sustainable whole animal butchery and inventive charcuterie production to create a robust menu of prime steaks and chops. He will bring a selection of his signature dishes from Washington, D.C. including a Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Classic Tuna Tartare and Lobster Corn Dogs,” said the magazine.
He’s reported to have plans to work with local producers and ranchers including Devil’s Gulch Ranch, Hidden Pond Farm, Oak Hill Farms, Bernier Farms and other — most of which are already favorites of Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdsburg.
