Jordan Heissenberger has been appointed Executive Chef at Ruschmeyers in Montauk - NY, USA
Following the relaunch of iconic Hamptons hotel RUSCHMEYERS this past Memorial Day under boutique hotelier Bridgeton (Marram Montauk, Journey East Hampton), the team announces Chef Jordan Heissenberger (Buvette, Walter's, Rucola, Apollonia) as Executive Chef of the property's reimagined signature dining concept, The Grill at RUSCHMEYERS.
At The Grill at RUSCHMEYERS, an all day eatery designed for long, lively meals that stretch into the evening, Heissenberger leads a seasonal food and beverage program built around shareable plates, open-air vibes, and a menu made for connection. Embracing the property's "mixed media summer grill" concept, Heissenberger's menu celebrates the East End's bounty through fire-kissed dishes like charred lamb ribs, seafood towers, grilled lobster, wood-fired oysters and their standout signature burger - deemed the best hamburger on Long Island by ELLE - paired with playful cocktails and a crisp coastal wine list. Designed for gathering, the restaurant offers a casual yet considered dining experience that brings people together through expressive flavors, generous hospitality, and a creative, communal spirit - where grilled meats meet mezze, and fermentation plays alongside flame.
A seasoned talent with over a decade of experience, Chef Jordan Heissenberger brings a bold, ingredient-driven approach shaped by international training and leadership roles at some of New York's most respected restaurants. A graduate of The French Culinary Institute in New York City, Heissenberger further honed his craft at ALMA - The International School of Italian Cuisine in Colorno, Italy, and through an externship at the Michelin-starred Onice in Florence. In New York, he has served as Executive Chef at beloved spots including Buvette, Vinegar Hill House, Apollonia, and Inness in the Hudson Valley. Most recently, Heissenberger joined the Institute of Culinary Education as a Chef Instructor, where he continues to mentor the next generation of culinary talent.
