Every Day Is a Holiday for Edgehill Residents
Our dedicated culinary team crafts unforgettable experiences ensuring that each moment is celebrated with joy and style.
Twinkling lights cast a warm glow as joyful chatter mingles with classical music. Exquisitely appointed tablescapes adorned with polished silver, sparkling stemware and folded linens are complemented by the sweet fragrance of floral bouquets. At Edgehill, the holidays are a symphony of sounds and scents that celebrate cherished moments together.
A significant part of this enchanting atmosphere is brought to life by a dedicated culinary team that genuinely cares for the residents. “We love to see them happy,” shares Director of Food & Beverage Jay Shankar. With a passion for delighting those they serve, they meticulously plan every aspect of the experience, ensuring each gathering surpasses the last.
As Executive Chef Anthony Napolitano, who has been creating culinary magic at Edgehill since 2006, puts it, “We keep it simple with fresh, high-quality ingredients and classic techniques.” Each dish, whether a seasonal specialty or a daily favorite, showcases the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
Celebrating the Best of Every Season
Led by Chef Anthony, the culinary team embraces seasonal flavors, crafting menus that highlight the essence of each time of year. Fall dishes feature delights like squash, cranberries and apples. While the holiday season showcases traditional favorites, such as Thanksgiving turkey and festive New Year’s fare.
One of the most distinctive traditions at Edgehill is the blessing of the turkey on Thanksgiving. This lighthearted annual ritual involves a resident dressed in a festive costume performing a ceremonial blessing of the turkey in the kitchen before it is served.
For Chinese New Year, the menu features traditional dishes including Peking egg drop soup, dim sum and Shanghai stir-fried cashew beef. The culinary team thoughtfully accommodates dietary preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, ensuring every resident can enjoy the festive celebration.
