MEET-THE-CHEF: Josh Taillon (owner and chef)
After about 13 years of cooking in some posh restaurants in Colorado, Josh Taillon (shown here with his twin sister, who also is a cook, but in Kansas) decided to return to his roots in the North Country and set up his own restaurant. He bought and renovated an old country farm building that previous owners had turned into a homey restaurant. The dining room is cozy and welcoming; the second floor expands the space. Be sure and peek into the kitchen windows as you cross the porch and pass by. The farm itself is a certified organic produce farm. And the food? Wally Siebel, in a review for the Watertown Times (11/17/13), rated it as “some of the best food in St. Lawrence County.” He concludes, “Rest assured, whatever Chef Josh offers will be interesting and appetizing.”
