In April, Chef Bin Lu joined the Salamander Resort & Spa’s Harrimans Grill as the chef de cuisine.
Set on 340 acres amid Virginia’s famed horse and wine country, Salamander Middleburg is designed to blend into the natural environment in which it sits.
The resort is ideal for those travelers who enjoy balancing activities with relaxation. There’s horseback riding, golf, tennis, and a pool, plus a full-service spa to retreat to when you’re ready for some downtime.
The setting: rolling hills, old-growth forest, horse barns, zip lines, swimming pools and the nearby historic village of Middleburg.
BEST HORSE & WINE COUNTRY RESORT
A former executive chef at Michelin-starred Pineapple and Pearls will join the restaurant’s team.
Middleburg's Salamander Resort has hired Bin Lu as chef de cuisine at Harrimans Grill.
Onwauchi is behind The Family Reunion, a food and wine festival in Middleburg, Virginia. In partnership with Salamander Collection Founder and CEO Sheila Johnson and Food & Wine Editor-in-Chief Hunter Lewis, the four-day festival hosts panel discussions, cooking demonstrations, “family” meals, and nightly entertainment.
It was my first foray into Salamander, and I’ve always loved it.
