...
Rebecca learned the values of freshness,
regional purity, and how to cook with a Mediterranean soul and
sensibility. Constantly pushing herself to learn everything she could
from Chef Flay and his intensely talented roster of executive chefs and
sous chefs, Rebecca stayed with Chef Bobby Flay for three years . Rebecca's
next position would take her to Denver Colorado to help open the
critically acclaimed Mediterranean restaurant Mizuna. In Rebecca's free
time (what little of it there was), she also worked as a pastry chef at
nearby restaurant Opal, where she was quickly promoted by Mizuna's owners to Chef de Cuisine of their sister restaurant Luca d'Italia. Rebecca's spent two years at Luca d'Italia before looking for the right venue to showcase all of her creative energy. In 2005 Rebecca was hired as executive chef of a brand new restaurant Café Star for which she helped create and design every aspect of the upscale seasonally-changing menu. Rebecca and Café Star garnered fabulous reviews and multiple awards including Best Chef and Best New Restaurant in Denver's WestWord, Voted in Top 10 Restaurants for 2005-2007 in both the Denver Post and Rocky MountainNews and mentioned as rising star chef in 5280 Magazine.
...
After six fruitful years in Colorado, Rebecca
decided she had to get back to the magic and excitement of NYC's
restaurant scene. She was offered a position from her old boss Chef Bobby Flay at Bar Americain, but after a short time another fantastic opportunity came across Rebecca's radar. In 2007 Rebecca was hired to take over as Chef de Cuisine at the intensely successful 'inoteca in NYC's Lower East Side. Rebecca
enjoyed three wonderful years working for the Denton's, during which
time she met David and later John Bush. It was during this period that Rebecca, David, and John Bush began collaborating, ultimately making Thistle Hill Tavern a reality.
...
David enjoyed 3 wonderful years working for the Denton's and had the
good fortune to spend the majority of that time working with Chef
Rebecca Weitzman.
...
During that time David, Rebecca and John Bush conceptualized and brought to fruition Thistle Hill Tavern.
