Lowco Meal Maestros: David Landrigan, Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar

Since his humble beginnings as a teenager washing dishes in his native upstate New York, to his celebrated career in some of the finest kitchens in Savannah, David Landrigan’s culinary career has been defined by his willingness to try new things.

As he put it, “You never know what you can do until you try.” That philosophy has dovetailed perfectly with his entry into the island’s culinary scene as executive chef at Lucky Rooster, where the menu is in a constant state of rebirth based on what is fresh. “We want it to be as seasonal as possible, so our guests always get the opportunity to experience new things,” he said.

That goes for the menu of elevated yet approachable favorites, plus the popular wine, beer, and whiskey dinners. “I love those events because they give me the opportunity to explore new things and see what works.”
