Local Inn Says Goodbye to Longtime Chef, Welcomes New Chef

At the Inn at Pleasant Lake in New London, Brian MacKenzie, the iconic chef at the poplar inn and restaurant, is celebrating his last week in the kitchen. MacKenzie was owner and chef at the Inn for 18 years and has remained on board since new owners Jennifer and Scott Reed purchased the property one year ago.

After an extensive, nationwide search for a new chef,  Bryan Leary, a graduate of Johnson and Wales, will be taking over full responsibility of the kitchen by the end of the month. YCN News caught up with both outgoing and incoming chefs this week.

We wish good luck to Chef MacKenzie in his future endeavors and encourage anybody to check out the Inn at Pleasant Lake to try some of Chef Leary’s culinary delights.
