the talent behind the menus

Jeremy Sewall CONSULTING CHEF AT HOTEL COMMONWEALTH & EASTERN STANDARD

EXECUTIVE CHEF OF ISLAND CREEK OYSTER BAR & ROW 34’S

A James Beard nominated chef, Jeremy spent time in some of the world’s finest kitchens after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America. With his family & heart in Maine, where he spent summers fishing & lobstering, Jeremy returned to Boston after working for Bradley Ogden in San Francisco to open Great Bay with Michael Schlow. In 2006, Jeremy & his wife Lisa realized their dream of opening their own restaurant, Lineage, in Brookline. Now a Brookline fixture, Jeremy joined Garrett Harker to assist as collaborating chef at Eastern Standard. He is now also a partner in both Island Creek Oyster Bar & Row 34, as well as the author of the James Beard Award nominated cookbook The New England Kitchen. Jeremy is recognized as one of the most accomplished seafood-focused chefs in the country.

Adam Nelson CHEF DE CUISINE AT HOTEL COMMONWEALTH

Chef Adam directs the kitchen in entirety of the Hotel Commonwealth in Kenmore Square. Adam grew up in Nashville, Tennessee & now resides in Cambridge with his wife. Adam studied Civil Engineering at the University of Tennessee & worked as a dishwasher & prep cook at a local Knoxville BBQ spot. His passion for food began taking over his pursuit of a degree. He eventually decided to go full time in kitchens & enrolled in the school of hard knocks. He worked his way up from prep to kitchen supervisor, then Chef de Partie in Nashville. From there his wife & he decided to pick up & see the country. They settled in New Mexico where Chef Adam was hired as a Sous Chef under James Beard Nominated, Executive Chef Jonathan Perno at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm. Chef Adam spent 3 years working closely under Chef John Perno, his mentor & first chef to wholeheartedly invest in Adam. They had the pleasure of working together with a fully functioning Organic farm & a menu that dictated such. In late 2015 Chef Adam & his wife decided it was time to see a new city & moved up to Boston. He has settled in nicely under Chef Jeremy Sewall at Hotel Commonwealth.

Linnea Blake EXECUTIVE PASTRY CHEF AT HOTEL COMMONWEALTH, EASTERN STANDARD, & THE HAWTHORNE

Chef Linnea directs the pastry program at Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks, including the entire Hotel Commonwealth Events Program. Linnea grew up in Milford in Worcester County of Massachusetts & now resides in Boston. Linnea's interest in the culinary arts sparked at an early age when she would make meringues with her Swedish grandmother, Evelyn . Linnea's growing passion led her to enroll in Johnson & Wales in 2004. Shortly after graduating with a major in Pastry Arts in 2008, Linnea worked as a pastry chef at the Woodstock Inn in Vermont, specializing in wedding cakes & running their bakeshop. Linnea's extensive hotel experience started during her study abroad internship in Wales. It was in this converted 15th Century castle, where Linnea earned valuable experience running a hotel pastry program.

Jackson Cannon BAR DIRECTOR, EASTERN STANDARD

CO-OWNER; BAR DIRECTOR, THE HAWTHORNE

Jackson Cannon has always lived to exacting standards. Son & brother of renowned award- winning journalists Lou & Carl Cannon, Jackson grew up immersed in a world of travel, politics & literature. In his twenties Jackson dedicated himself to a career in music, traveling the world in support of dynamic acts. A stint booking music acts at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts provided the fortuitous introduction to the craft of bartending & Jackson seized the stage. Settling in Boston, Jackson transitioned out of music & found bartending to be the perfect profession for his diverse interests. Jackson opened Eastern Standard in 2005 as Bar Manager, quickly cementing the neighborhood brasserie’s reputation as one of the country’s best bars, known for its attention to properly crafted cocktails & unwavering hospitality in a high-volume environment. Jackson’s iconic, expansive cocktail program offering more than 60 classic & new creations has secured Eastern Standard national attention from USA Today as one of the country’s “Top 10 Hotel Bars” in 2006, Esquire magazine as one of the “Best Bars in America” in both 2008 & 2010 & Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards for “Best High Volume Cocktail Bar” in 2012 & “Best American Restaurant Bar” in 2015. In 2011, Nightclub & Bar magazine named Jackson “Bartender of the Year.” The same year, Jackson introduced the next iteration of his vision when he opened The Hawthorne. Under Jackson’s guidance, The Hawthorne has received local & national acclaim, most recently as a 2013, 2014 & 2015 James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist for “Outstanding Bar Program”– the only New England establishment to receive the honor in 2014. He was also personally recognized as a finalist for “Best Bar Mentor” at the 2013 & 2014 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards & as a 2014 Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Award nominee for “Mixologist/Brand Ambassador of the Year.”

BEER SELECTION – $8 each –

SAM ADAMS LIGHT Focused on brewing a flavorful, high quality beer with a light-bodied taste & fewer calories, Sam Adams Light is a unique beer, not a lighter version of the Boston Lager. Sam Adams Light is the only light beer that uses no adjuncts & a traditional brewing process to ensure a balance of flavor & light-bodied taste. No other domestic light beer uses only the four classic ingredients of beer: pure water, lager yeast, Noble hops & barley malt. BUD LIGHT The number one beer in America year after year for a good reason. Low ABV & only 110 calories per 12 ounce serving, drinks clean, clear & crisp. NOTCH BREWERY Brewed nearby in Ipswich, Notch has focused exclusively on session beer since it launch in 2010. Depending on the season, enjoy the Session Pils, Left of the Dial IPA, Saison, Black Lager or Berliner Weisse. BALLAST POINT GRAPEFRUIT SCULPIN India Pale Ale with a citrus twist. The tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements this IPA’s citrusy hop character. Grapefruit’s a winter fruit, but this easy-drinking ale tastes like summer. DOWNEAST CIDER Sweet, refreshing & unfiltered, Downeast Original Blend hails the return of traditional New England apple cider made from all local fresh pressed fruit. CLAUSTHALER NON-ALCOHOLIC Classic convinces with its freshly flavorful & full-bodied taste & premium quality. A brew that fulfills the most exacting requirements for consummate beverage enjoyment.

RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT Inspired by brewers back in the 1800's to win over the Russian Czar, this is the king of stouts, boasting high alcohol by volumes & plenty of malt character. Low to moderate levels of carbonation with huge roasted, chocolate & burnt malt flavours. Often dry. Suggestions of dark fruit & flavors of higher alcohols are quite evident. BROOKLYN BROWN A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color & complex malt flavor. Fruity, smooth, & rich with a caramel, chocolate, & coffee background. Generous late hopping brings forward a nice hop aroma to complete the picture. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness & easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular dark beers in the Northeast. LEFFE BLOND Leffe Blond, from Leuven, Belgium, is the flagship of Leffe. The unique recipe is the fruit of centuries of experience in the art of brewing, which brings a broad palette of aromas into balance. It is elegant, smooth & fruity, & it has a spicy aftertaste with a hint of bitter orange. JACK’S ABBY HOPONIUS UNION INDIA PALE LAGER Hoponius Union harmoniously combines lager yeast fermentation & West Coast IPA hops. Our India style Pale Lager is like a traditional IPA but with a twist – it’s fermented cold & aged for extended periods. A blend of classic American hops creates a huge tropical fruit & citrusy hop aroma. A dry finish accentuates the pleasant bitterness profile.
