Meet Rooted Hospitality Group Cofounder David Hersh

What is your cooking philosophy?

My cooking philosophy is simple, if it’s not the best version, I’m not going to serve it.

What is your favorite spot in the Hamptons?

My favorite afternoon in the Hamptons is anchoring down in the Rumba Cove in Hampton Bays enjoying the sunshine and water sports with my family.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

I draw much of my inspiration from traveling. Exploring different cultures and their cuisines opens my eyes to new flavors, techniques, and ingredients.

What new food trends are you seeing?

Local and sustainable sourcing of food continues to be the trend. We prioritize ingredients that are locally sourced, and sustainably produced.

What is your comfort food and why?

My comfort food is my mom’s delicious carrot cake. I’ve always had a sweet tooth, and coming home to her carrot cake was a real treat. I love it so much that I brought it to Flora to share with others.

What is your favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish to make when entertaining at my home is a prime ribeye with all the extras like truffle butter, sautéed mushrooms and roasted seasonal vegetables.

What do you plan to serve at the event?

Berkshire pork belly with fennel and sprout slaw, peanuts, bacon aioli and soy mustard caramel.
