Tavern on the Ridge Albion NY

  • Chad’s culinary journey began in the heart of a family diner during his high school years, where he found his passion in the kitchen. His formal training took him to Le Cordon Bleu's international institutes, known for the highest level of culinary and hospitality management education. His career spans from Cleveland to Hilton Head Island, drawing inspiration from his Polish grandmother’s cooking, which instilled a deep appreciation for hearty, comforting flavors.

    Julia shares Chad’s passion for the culinary arts and community engagement. Together, they decided it was time to take the plunge and transform Tillman’s Village Inn into Tavern on the Ridge. They were driven by a desire to create a place that feels like home for the community.

  • Chad is the head chef, bringing over 20 years of experience to the kitchen. His team consists of longtime friends who share his passion for creating a cohesive and dynamic menu. Chad and Julia believe in fostering a family-like atmosphere among their team, where collaboration and shared values are paramount.
