In love with the tight-knit communities that surrounded him, he recognized the power of dining to bring people together. He often experimented with family recipes and spent time in the garden alongside his grandfather. Parents of French, Italian, and English heritages provided multicultural culinary influences to LaMothe from an early age as he grew up in Peakskille, NY, and eastern Connecticut.
“I like to incorporate my team in a family atmosphere, where everybody takes ownership of the kitchen,” he explains. “Whether that’s haute techniques in the kitchen or tableside service in the dining room, we leave a lasting impression.” To deliver his vision, the chef remains acutely focused in the kitchen, but values the company of his staff. “We strive to bring the total experience,” he says.
Creating an approachable culinary program with big city sensibilities, LaMothe looks to inspire awe in his guests. Coached by some of the biggest names in the culinary world throughout his career, Executive Chef Gary LaMothe looks to his training, expertise, and leadership as the Executive Chef of Prime Steakhouse and Caputo Trattoria, both of Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
