Renowned celebrity chef, restaurateur and longtime Chopped judge Scott Conant is doubling down on his partnership with Resorts World with a new concept at the company’s Hudson Valley location, answering a community desire for a world-class dining option. THE KITCHEN, an SC Spot, which is set to open at Resorts World Hudson Valley this July, will expand on Conant’s soulful approach to Italian and American cuisines.
This marks the second collaboration between Resorts World and the restaurateur behind The Americano in Atlanta. In January 2018, the company announced Conant would launch a new concept at its soon-to-open Resorts World Catskills. Today, Cellaio Steak stands as the premier dining option at the fully integrated casino-resort, frequented by gamers, golfers, and visitors.
“Resorts World has been such a great partner in creating world-class destinations across New York State,” said Scott Conant. “We’re creating a place in THE KITCHEN where people can enjoy satisfying meals and feel right at home, whether they’re visiting Resorts World Hudson Valley for the first time or live just around the corner. This will be the hottest new destination in Orange County for residents and visitors alike.”
“Chef Scott has been a true partner in the Catskills, so we are delighted to bring his culinary genius to Orange County with a new concept,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East. “THE KITCHEN will add something truly special to Newburgh, Orange County, and the entire Hudson Valley. This new concept is part of Resorts World’s commitment to New York State to make every one of our locations a true destination that delivers world-class entertainment and hospitality while also celebrating our local communities.”
The new restaurant is a direct response to community feedback for a cutting-edge dining option at Resorts World Hudson Valley. As New York State’s newest casino, the facility has become a destination in Orange County beyond gaming since opening its doors in December 2022. Resorts World has sought to deliver world-class amenities and entertainment to Orange County while also celebrating local businesses in the region. That includes a partnership with Newburgh Brewing Co. on the MonsterPitBoss IPA – served exclusively at the Resorts World Bet Sports Bar as well as Monster Golf Course at Resorts World Catskills.
Additional local vendors include:
- Jane’s Ice Cream
- Orwashers Bakery
- Roscoe Beer Company
- Catskill Brewery
- Seminary Hill Cider
- Brotherhood Winery
- Milea Estate Vineyard
THE KITCHEN will introduce a fresh and vibrant fast-casual dining experience to the Hudson Valley, offering guests a modern twist on familiar favorites. Designed to appeal to both locals and visitors alike, the new concept will blend Conant’s dedication to quality with the convenience of fast-casual dining, all set in a welcoming atmosphere that reflects his passion for elevated hospitality.
The eatery is set to open this July, highlights from the menu include barbecue favorites such as beef brisket and pulled pork; comforting classic entrées like chicken parmesan and steak frites; and an assortment of handcrafted sandwiches featuring crispy fried chicken, porchetta, and grilled eggplant.
