Being in the kitchen at The Restaurant at Meadowood in the height of dinner prep time was one of the most invigorating and inspiring moments that I can remember. The members of the large culinary staff moved from one end of the newly renovated kitchen to the other in swift, effortless motions easily comparable to a perfectly choreographed dance. Chef Christopher Kostow energized his staff with the upbeat songs “Send Me On My Way,” by Rusted Root and “Little Lion Man,” by Mumford & Sons, which echoed off the walls of the kitchen walls of this three Michelin Star rated restaurant.
