Chef Peter Goldklang of The Parlour at Roger New York shares a delicious "taste" of the restaurant, which opened in June 2012 in the heart of the Flatiron District of New York City. A comfortable, bistro-style ambience, creative menu, attentive service, and its convenient location make this restaurant desirable whether you are a guest at the hotel or live in the neighborhood.
I met Chef de Cuisine Peter Goldklang after having a lovely Sunday dinner at The Parlour at the Roger New York in August 2012, two months after the luxury boutique 194-guestroom hotel opened after an extensive renovation.
American Chef Peter Goldklang grew up in Westchester County in New Rochelle, New York, 15 minutes from New York City, and began his culinary career by graduating from the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York. From his solid base at ICE, he launched his career working at some of the top restaurants in New York where the list of award-winning chefs he worked with reads like the bold-faced names on "Page 6" of a New York newspaper. After a 4-month internship working with Chef Daniel Boulud at Bar Boulud, he worked at Chef Mario Batali and Restaurateur Joe Bastianich’s restaurant, Tarry Lodge in Port Chester, New York, followed by 2 years working at Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s restaurant, JoJo. From there he went to work at the New York restaurant, Goat Town working alongside Chef Julie Farias.
Chef Peter Goldklang
He said that learned a lot from working with Chefs Boulud and Batali, and from Chef Vongerichten who inspired him with his flavor profiles and fusion with French technique. However, he credits Chef Farias as being the hardest on him and the most influential day-to-day, as Chef Farias was instrumental in bringing him to the Roger, where he is the Chef de Cuisine at The Parlour since it opened in June 2012.
In his free time, Chef Peter Goldklang likes to watch television cooking shows to learn about culinary trends and to look for inspiration. He graciously shares a delicious taste of The Parlour at Roger New York with his recipes and looks forward to welcoming you at the restaurant.
