“I am not that interested in chefy-chefy, restauranty restaurants,” says @clare.deboer. “I never want to be aware of eating a chef’s food.” At @stissinghouse in Pine Plains, New York, where De Boer is now chef and owner, the food is fresh, local, and, above all, unfussy. De Boer likens it to the earthy abundance one finds in Italy: “Local people eating local stuff, and it’s amazing, just because it’s so simple. The tavern sets a similar stage; it’s in the middle of beautiful farmland. It’s an incredible building. No nonsense, just plain old luxury.” Even the eggs taste different upstate.
