Dig Inn's New Direction with Culinary Director Dylan Mendelsohn

Dig Inn has officially announced the appointment of Dylan Mendelsohn as its new Culinary Director. This strategic move marks an exciting transformation for the fast-casual dining venue, which is known for its commitment to scratch-made, seasonal meals. This fall, under Mendelsohn’s leadership, the restaurant has unveiled a fresh menu that emphasizes innovative, vegetable-forward dishes inspired by the rich harvest of the Northeast.

Mendelsohn, who previously worked at the acclaimed Eleven Madison Park and Life Alive Cafe, brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to Dig Inn. His culinary philosophy revolves around creating accessible yet elevated dishes that reflect the season's bounty. "The produce changes before the weather does," says Mendelsohn. He believes this menu captures that essence, as it integrates familiar autumn flavors such as Hudson Valley apples and Yukon mashed potatoes with surprise ingredients like delicata squash and maple tahini.

The Fall Menu features eight new items, each crafted with care and attention to quality:
1. Autumn Farro with Butternut Squash - A warm bowl of farro paired with roasted butternut squash, citrus tahini, and fresh herbs.
2. Brussels Cabbage with Sweet Chili Crisp - Marinated Brussels sprouts, charred to perfection and mixed with Mr. Bing Chili Crisp for an added kick.
3. Crunchy Roasted Red Beets - Flavorful roasted red beets served alongside quinoa and topped with a housemade superseed crunch.
4. Delicata Squash with Maple Tahini - Tender delicata squash complemented by sweet maple tahini and crunchy superseed topping.
5. Hudson Valley Apples with Chai Yogurt - Locally sourced apples marinated in chai yogurt and served Waldorf-style with dried cranberries and mint.
6. Just A Really Good Salad - A fresh medley of seasoned Gotham Greens lettuce with zesty lemon and olive oil dressing.
7. Lentil Chickpea Salad with Feta - A hearty and fiber-rich salad combining chickpeas, lentils, feta, and red cabbage.
8. Yukon Mashed Potatoes with Garlic Parm - Creamy Yukon mashed potatoes, expertly prepared with garlic and parmesan for a rich flavor.

In addition to individual items, the menu also introduces family meals and catering packages for those looking to share delightful dishes with friends and loved ones. The Fall Family Meal includes herb chicken with sweet chili Brussels sprouts and a sumptuous delicata squash, while the Steak & Mash Family Meal features char-grilled steak paired with mashed potatoes, making it easy to savor restaurant-quality flavors in the comfort of home.

Ordering is straightforward for guests at all locations, as they can either dine in, use the Dig Inn app, or place an online order through www.diginn.com. Each purchase also rewards customers with points through the Dig Inn Rewards program, promoting loyalty among the restaurant's patrons.

Dig Inn, with over 35 locations in the Northeast, continues to elevate everyday dining experiences by prioritizing high-quality, thoughtfully sourced ingredients and real cooking. With Mendelsohn at the helm of the culinary team, patrons can expect a renewed commitment to innovation and excellence, delivering meals that feel like home.
