Q: Who is the chef at Table & Tap?

A graduate of the prestigious International Culinary Center in New York City, Rashty most recently served as the chef de cuisine at Jack’s Farm to Fork restaurant at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina in Fort Myers Beach. He also served as a line cook at Jean-Georges in New York City where he worked with James Beard award-winning pastry chef Johnny Iuzinni. You can read an interview of Rashty with the Fort Myers News-Press here:
Q: What is Chef Rashty’s culinary strength?
A: While he was at the Pink Shell, Rashty created a successful farm-to-table restaurant concept. The farm-to-table idea is to serve locally growth food by purchasing it directly from the producer, tracing the source of the food so that its freshness is certain. During his tenure at Pink Shell, Rashty developed strong relationships with ranchers and farmers to source local produce. On the menu, diners will find locally grown, non-GMO produce selections that vary seasonally. This fits into Babcock Ranch’s vision to promote environmental and economic sustainability.
Q: What kinds of savory dishes are on the restaurant’s menu?
A: For those who prefer small plates, the menu includes butternut squash soup, miso-braised pork belly and chicken wings. Those who prefer salads have several to choose from, including roasted beet salad, watermelon salad and arugula salad. Entrees range from duck breast to beer can chicken, braised short ribs, shrimp and grits or a signature burger.
Q: What are the prices of items on the menu?
A: Prices range from $6 to $16 for small plates, $7 to $12 for salads and $14 to $33 for entrees.
