Goosefeather pays tribute to the cuisine of Hong Kong, with a focus on noodles, Cantonese barbecue, and dumplings. Chef Dale Talde brings his imagination to the cuisine, utilizing unexpected ingredients like dry-aged beef, black truffles and more.

James Beard nominated Chef Dale is the host of Tastemade’s “All Up In My Grill.” He was also a two-time cheftestant and judge on Bravo’s Emmy Award-winning culinary show, “Top Chef.” A familiar face onscreen, Dale has judged “Chopped,” “Knife Fight'“ and “Beat Bobby Flay.” Chef Dale’s debut cookbook is called Asian American. Goosefeather is the first concept from Food Crush Hospitality, a partnership between him and his wife Agnes.

Goosefeather is located in The King Mansion at the Tarrytown House Estate, which sits high on the hill above Sunnyside, the former home of famed writer Washington Irving (most recognized for his story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). The venue offers four separate dining rooms, a 9-seat bar, and both indoor and outdoor lounge areas. On colder nights, fire pits adorn the outside lounge area. Additionally, two terraces, a garden and a front lawn provide outdoor seating during warmer weather. Goosefeather is located at ​​49 East Sunnyside Lane, Tarrytown, New York 10591​​, and offers valet and self-park options.

[fade]Dale’s passion for cooking began at a young age in his native Chicago where he learned to prepare meals alongside his mother in the kitchen. The proud son of Filipino immigrants, he grew up immersed in his family’s cultural heritage, while also enjoying the life of a typical American kid.

Dale applied this distinct Asian-American experience to the menu of his eponymous restaurant, TALDE, which opened in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood in 2012. He went on to open a TALDE in Miami, Florida and in Jersey City, New Jersey. Dale debuted his first project in Manhattan with the opening of Massoni at the Arlo NoMad Hotel in November 2016. His second Manhattan restaurant called Rice & Gold opened in October 2017 at the 50 Bowery Hotel in Chinatown. In Florida, Dale also had three locations in the food hall Grandview Public Market in West Palm Beach. They were called The Corner, Clare's and Little Red Truck.

In 2018, Dale became business partners with his life partner. Dale and Agnes built foodcrushhospitality.com.

In addition to his work in the kitchen, Dale was also a three-time cheftestant on Bravo’s Emmy Award-winning culinary show, “Top Chef.” He competed in Season 4, “All Star” Season 8, “Top Chef Duels”, and became one of the show’s most popular cast members. Dale returns as a judge on Season 18. Dale has competed on “Chopped,” “Iron Chef America,” “Knife Fight” and was also head judge on “Knife Fight” Season 4, as well as guest judge on both “Chopped” and “Beat Bobby Flay.”

In September of 2015, Grand Central Publishing released Dale’s first cookbook, Asian American, to rave reviews.

[fade]The name for Goosefeather is taken from an ancient Chinese proverb which embodies the idea of thoughtful gift-giving. Gift-giving plays a major role in Chinese culture, and attaching a feather to a gift is a tradition dating back to the Tang Dynasty. It all began when a servant was ordered to deliver a fancy goose to the Emperor as a gift. Along the way, the fancy goose escaped the man, leaving behind a single feather. The servant, eager to deliver something in its place, wrote the Emperor a poem with the fancy goose’s feather attached. He described the feather as an “insignificant gift” with “sincere wishes of the sender.” In the end, the Emperor was impressed, and the feather ultimately became a symbol of thoughtfulness. This incident is remembered in the saying qiān lĭ sòng ér máo, meaning, “to walk a thousand li and present a feather as a gift.” [/fade]
