Jim Kyndberg

Chef and restaurant owner Jim Kyndberg sees to it that everything that goes into his menu is created with care. So it\'s no wonder that food lovers keep the reservation line hot for Bayport Cookery in Bayport, a unique restaurant whose menu is ever-changing and ever-delightful.

From the moment you walk in the door, the rustic elegance of Bayport Cookery draws you in and you know you\'re in for a memorable dining event. The classical music, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and rich wallpaper make it easy to understand why Bayport Cookery was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" in 2007 by City Pages.

Dinner is subject to the month\'s theme and Jim\'s inspiration for the evening. He carefully crafts three-, five- and nine-course meals, which blend and flow effortlessly, creating an experience that most of us couldn\'t create left to our own devices. Jim\'s distinctive approach to his craft allows for unexpected but most welcome and delicious results.

Jim credits the unsurpassed quality and taste of his dishes to the small area farmers from whom he sources and all of his creations proudly feature the local bounty and seasonal offerings. He has a particular affinity for PastureLand Dairy Cooperative, all of whose dairy farms are Food Alliance certified for their sustainable practices. PastureLand\'s products come from cows who graze on fertile pastures, pastures that "prevent erosion while providing a humane environment for our cows and habitat for wildlife," clearly demonstrating that environmental stewardship is vital to the PastureLand Dairy families.
