Chef Andy Nusser & the Tarry Lodge About ANDY NUSSER
Andy Nusser’s passion for food began in his Spanish hometown on the Costa Brava where he started work as a dishwasher for a restaurant called Casa Nun. In the United States, he spent more than a decade working for General Motors in Santa Barbara before enrolling at the Culinary Institute of America. After graduating at the top of his class in 1995, he started cooking with Mario Batali in the tiny kitchen at Pó in Greenwich Village, Mario’s first restaurant. In 1998, Andy was named Executive Chef at Mario and Joe Bastianich’s newly opened Babbo, where he helped the restaurant earn three stars from The New York Times and the title of Best New Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation. In 2003, Andy, Nancy, Mario and Joe opened Casa Mono and Bar Jamón, odes to the food Andy experienced growing up in Spain. Among his many successes, Andy was an Award Winning Chef at the Copa de Jerez 2007 International Competition. He and his family reside in Hastings-on-Hudson.
