'Top Chef' Opens Goosefeather In Tarrytown

TARRYTOWN, NY — One of the newest restaurants to open in the Hudson Valley comes with a familiar face. Celebrity Chef Dale Talde, of "Top Chef" fame, opened Goosefeather, bringing seasonal modern Chinese food to the area.

The menu will feature the trifecta that comprises 90 percent of the fare in Hong Kong: a heavy hand on noodles, Cantonese barbecue and dumplings. Those are combined with the seasonality of the Hudson Valley.

Diners can expect Chinese staples and twists on the classics that Che Dale has become known for over the years, according to a spokeswoman.

Dale’s food will take traditional Cantonese fare up a notch, he said, utilizing unexpected ingredients like dry-aged beef, black truffles and more. Dinner menu highlights include dim sum bites such as Typhoon Lobster and Shrimp with charred lemon and garlic; dry-aged Beef Potstickers with chinese mustard-horseradish; and Prawn Toast with pickled chilis and crushed avocado. Cantonese barbecue options include a Char Siu Berkshire Pork Collar with grilled scallions and spicy mustard; Wind Sand Poussin with crispy ginger and garlic; and Dale’s famous Cantonese Roast Duck with caramelized hoisin, scallions and pancakes.

On the noodle and rice front, dishes include Shrimp and Clam Noodle with Dale’s XO and chewy noodles; Crispy Chow Fun with Hunan pork shank, pickled mustard greens and youtiao; and Crab Rice with jalapeno aioli and trout roe, to round out the options. A handful of large plate options are also available, including General Tso’s Shrimp with smoked chili and pineapple; Steamed Orata with ginger olive scallion relish, Marcona almonds and superior Soy; and a 40-day aged NY Strip with broccoli and soy-garlic butter.

For those looking for something lighter, there's Watermelon Salad with shaved snow peas and hot & sour tamarind; Heirloom Tomato Salad with cucumbers, whipped tofu and aged soy; and Grilled Avocado Salad with baby bok choy, kale and plums; grace the menu.

Diners can end on a sweet note and choose from a few dessert options including Pineapple Shaved Ice Sundae with rum roasted pineapple and brown butter cake; Salted Chocolate Ganache with potato, peanut, pretzel crumble and chocolate sorbet; and more.

Goosefeather is located on the grounds of the Tarrytown House Estate.
