OUTSIDE THE DINING ROOM WINDOW, LAYER-UPON-LAYER OF MOUNTAINS FADING INTO A HAZE OF EVENING LIGHT. FROM THE HEARTH OF THE GREAT FIREPLACE, A BLAZE OF COLOR RIVALED ONLY BY THE FIESTAWARE THAT SETS THE TABLE. A GLASS OF WINE, SOME CRUSTY BREAD, AND SOME OF THE BEST FOOD THAT DINING IN THE BERKSHIRES HAS TO OFFER.
    
   
JOHN DUDEK IS THE CHEF AND A PARTNER IN THE BASCOM LODGE GROUP. FOR MOST OF HIS YEARS IN THE MANHATTAN RESTAURANT INDUSTRY, HE WAS THE PASTRY CHEF AT THE THREE STAR NEW AMERICAN RESTAURANT HUBERT'S AND LATER, AT THE DUANE PARK CAFE IN TRIBECA. PRIOR TO MANAGING THE BASCOM LODGE, HE CO-AUTHORED THE BOOK SORBETS AND GRANITIES FROM THE DUANE PARK CAFE. DURING THE OFF SEASON, HE WORKS AS A PRIVATE CHEF TO CLIENTS INVOLVED IN POLITICAL AND NON- PROFIT FUND RAISING FOR CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS AND PRIVATE ENTERTANING.
THE CONCEPT - "FOOD WITH ALTITUDE"
THE KITCHEN AT BASCOM LODGE STRIVES TO PRODUCE FRESH, HAND - MADE, "FLAVOR-DRIVEN" FOOD, CRAFTED FROM INGREDIENTS PURCHASED FROM LOCAL, FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED BERKSHIRE, HAMPSHIRE, AND COLUMBIA COUNTY FARMS.
   
     
AS A MEMBER OF BERKSHIRE GROWN, ALL THE PRODUCTS THAT WE USE IN THE PREPARA- TION OF OUR FOOD ARE FRESH, SEASONAL INGREDIENTS. FROM THE HOME - MADE MUFFINS SERVED AT BREAKFAST, TO THE ICE CREAM AND SORBET AT DINNER, EVERYTHING IS MADE IN-HOUSE, DAILY.
OUR PRIX FIXE DINNER MENU CHANGES NIGHTLY. OVER THE COURSE OF A SEASON, OUR GUESTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE WIDE RANGE OF ETHNIC INFLUENCES THAT HAVE PEPPERED THE AMERICAN PALATE. THE COMBINATION OF FLAVORS, THE DIVERSITY OF INGREDIENTS, AND COOKING TECHNIQUES USED, PROVIDE A CULINARY EXPERIENCE THAT IS AS BROAD IN IT'S SCOPE AS THE LODGE IS BREATHTAKING IN IT'S SETTING.
