It is likely that Litchfield County gourmets will be familiar with the name Bolivar Hilario, who has been top chef at Ore Hill & Swyft and most recently at Community Table. It is also a good bet that they know RSVP, the quirky, quasi-legendary French eatery in West Cornwall. What’s important to know now is that Hilario, a 2026 semifinalist for the prestigious James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast, has taken over RSVP from longtime owners Charles Cirona and Guy Birster.

After more than 25 years as a software developer in the New York City tri-state area, Jude Alexis traded business application development for flour and fire. What began with a single loaf pulled from a toaster oven is now Black Crust Bakery in Falls Village, where he hand-shapes sourdough from organic flour, aged starter, and Himalayan sea salt.
