Meet The Team

Tarrytown Local is run by humans who are (maybe) a little too obsessed with food systems, sourcing, and flavor.

Fox Schanzer - Chef & Culinary Director

Chef Fox has spent over a decade cooking in farm-to-table restaurants and fine dining kitchens, then stepping back to build a career around better food systems. He’s the one writing the menus, obsessing over all of the ingredients, and making sure every dish tells a story about where it came from.

Steve Wazny - Owner & Operator

Steve left corporate litigation to line cook in NYC, and has become fixated on reconnecting American food to regenerative agriculture. He’s the one bringing Tarrytown Local to life, and hopes to create a place that, through simple, cozy food, guides people to source well and buy from their neighbors.

Katrina Poulin - Head Baker

Katrina mills our locally-sourced grains fresh every morning, keeps the starter alive, and bakes the breads and pastries that give Tarrytown Local its heartbeat (and delicious aroma). Her baking is rooted in care, curiosity, and a love of a kind of food that is almost impossible to come by in a world run by giant food corporations and shelf-stable flour.
