MARJORAM + ROUX

“One of the nicest things about the relatively small community of top-notch chefs in the Berkshires is that it’s possible to follow them through their trajectory. We’ve watched one of them, Daire Rooney, as she has made her way through Brix Wine Bar, head chef for Mezze catering and events, executive chef at Allium, and several appearances at the James Beard House. Now she has surfaced as not just chef but owner of her own place, Marjoram + Roux, located on Railroad Street in Great Barrington. https://www.marjoramandroux.com/

Taking over the space at the top of the block that was formerly H.R.
