OUR STORY
Meet Chef John Mooney
Chef John Mooney has traveled the world as a chef, honing his craft around a variety of cultures. in 2008, at Highland Manor in Florida, he began aeroponic gardening. These practices were ultimately brought to the ultra-seasonal menu (and the rooftop) of his New York City West Village restaurant, Bell, Book & Candle, where Mooney is currently Chef/Partner. Bidwell is an embodiment of his commitment to serving delicious, creative, naturally sourced American food.
Our Aeroponic Garden
The food Program at Bidwell revolves around local, organic, sustainable, and overall responsible procurement. The menu cycles are seasonal and heavily influenced on production from the aeroponic rooftop tower garden.
Finding inspiration in the regions of America and focusing on the contemporary aspect and eclecticism of the melting pot, Bidwell’s food strives for an element of originality and individualism.
