Cochecton Fire Station

The Cochecton Fire Station is both cozy and contemporary, and at the heart of this venture is its wood-burning oven. In a reciprocal exchange, Henning’s Local chef Henning Nordanger designed the Fire Station’s food menu, working with Early and Miller to craft a tight selection of dishes enhanced by the open flames. With an ideal-for-sharing menu in two parts (‘$5’ and ‘Not $5’), the cheaper items include quintessential bar food like mac and cheese, crispy rice and beans, and Cuban corn, as well as the the unexpected roasted romaine. Charred on the outside yet silky on the inside, it will change the way you think about cooked lettuce.
