Renowned Chef and CIA Graduate Named Preferred Partner at the Hudson Valley Event Venue
Nearly one year after its debut in the City of Poughkeepsie, Revel 32° is excited to announce a partnership with Culinary Institute of America graduate and celebrity chef, David Burke. This Fall, Burke will join the Poughkeepsie-based event and entertainment venue as a preferred catering partner.
Beginning Fall 2020, guests looking to book an event at Revel 32°will have the opportunity to work with Burke and his team to curate a seasonal menu for any occasion. The offerings Burke will bring further underscore Revel 32°’s standing as a unique and versatile event venue in the region. With seven spaces within the venue, Revel 32°is equipped to host an array of events, including weddings, company luncheons, team dinners, and other special celebrations.
“When we first decided to purchase and transform the building from a Masonic Temple to what it is today, we did so with the community, and the City of Poughkeepsie, which we know and love, at the forefront of our plans,” said Gina Sullivan, owner of Revel 32°. “We knew our guests – and the city – was deserving of a one-of-a-kind experience here, and our partnership with Chef David Burke will only amplify what we can offer.”
Burke’s role with Revel 32°is one in a long line of success in the food and beverage industry. Known for his flagship restaurant, David Burke Tavern in New York City, Burke was the first American recipient of the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Diplome d’Honneur, one of many awards and accolades he’s received in his three-decade-long career. Burke has been recognized internationally for his revolutionary techniques, a successful restaurant empire that spans seven states, and his appearances on Bravo TV’s “Top Chef”, “Top Chef Masters” and more. Moreover, the partnership with Revel 32°brings full circle a love for the Hudson Valley that he has had since graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in 1982.
“The Hudson Valley is being recognized on a wider scale as of late, and for good reason – the abundant natural beauty, open space and access to fresh, local ingredients of the highest caliber make this a dream location,” said Chef David Burke. “Furthermore, being in partnership with Revel 32°is an ideal pairing for me – giving me a platform to bring high quality, memorable cuisine to events in the heart of the Hudson Valley, the very place my love for cooking began.”
