We Spent The Day with A Michelin Chef Inside this Tiny Brooklyn Townhouse Kitchen

Tucked away in Brooklyn Heights, Michelin-starred Clover Hill blends neighborhood warmth with world-class cooking. In this rare behind-the-scenes feature, we spend the day with Executive Chef Sam Rogers and General Manager and co-owner, Clay Castillo, uncovering how they’ve built one of New York’s most quietly celebrated restaurants. From breaking down whole fish for a delicate seafood course to hand-cutting lamb for a signature tartare, the Clover Hill team shows us the craft and care behind their menu. Just a few minutes from the restaurant, we join them at a community garden to pick fresh flowers for service — a small but telling detail of their ingredient-driven approach. Chef Sam invites us into the kitchen during a live dinner service, walking us through his favorite dishes while diners fill the cozy dining room. Clay shares his story of starting out as a general manager with no Michelin-starred experience in the same location years ago, to now co-founding a restaurant that earned a coveted star. We end with a full showcase of Clover Hill’s seasonal tasting menu — a glimpse into why this homey Brooklyn spot has become one of the city’s most special Michelin-starred restaurants.
