Veteran chef Scott Leventhal has taken over the kitchen at First & South in Greenport.
He replaces Taylor Knapp, who has left to focus on his snail farm Peconic Escargot and his popup restaurant PawPaw.
Mr. Leventhal has recently worked for the New Orleans-based catering company Southern Hospitality. He has also worked at Norwood Club and Tolani Eatery and Wine in New York City and has worked in Puerto Rico. He also has extensive experience on Fire Island.
He began in his role at First & South at 100 South Street last month.
