In the morning, visual artist John-Paul Philippe drinks his coffee on the porch of his home, a modest former sharecropper’s cabin on White Hollow Road in Sharon. The building was transported from North Carolina by the property’s previous owner, ornithologist John McNeeley, whose vision and reverence for nature Philippe is dedicated to stewarding.

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.
