East End Foodie News Bites: Pridwin BBQ Returns, Kissaki Goes Omakase, Showfish's New Chef & More

It’s late July and everyone’s at the beach, but it’s never a slow news day for the East End’s hospitality teams — all those people working hard in the food, drink, and service industry to bring you unforgettable summer dining experiences in the Hamptons. In this latest round-up, Showfish gets a new chef, Philippe Chow comes to your door, and cookout Wednesdays return to the pretty-as-a-picture Pridwin (see above).

East End Foodie News Bites

Return of the BBQ

Wednesday cookouts have returned at The Pridwin on Shelter Island (81 Shore Road). A tradition that began in 1962, the weekly feasts are held on the hotel’s sunset-approved waterfront lawn and are a highlight of the summer at this historic venue.

Cookouts will be held Wednesdays through Labor Day. Tickets are $65 per person, $35 per child, and food is served between 5–8:45 p.m. There’s also a boat shuttle from sister-property Barons Cove in Sag Harbor; and docking is available.

Omakase Takes Water Mill

Kissaki is going omakase. The Water Mill hotspot at 670 Montauk Highway, Suite E, is offering a limited-seating 14- or 16-course omakase adventure Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for the rest of the summer. Chef Edgar Valerio will be curating a selection of appetizers and sushi.

There will be two seatings per night, one at 6:30 p.m. and another at 8:30 p.m.
