Malden Resident Named Executive Chef Of Cambridge Hotel

MALDEN, MA — Malden resident Adam Resnick has been named executive chef of the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Cambridge.

Resnick will oversee all food and beverage programming, including menu creation and execution for in-room dining, corporate meetings and high-profile social events and weddings hosted at Kimpton Marlowe. Hew will also create and implement seasonal menus at the hotel's restaurant, Bambara Kitchen & Bar.

"In a time when the pandemic has drastically impacted the restaurant industry, it was important for us to maintain consistency and stability within Bambara and Kimpton Marlowe overall," Joe Capalbo, regional director of operations for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. "Not only does Adam craft some amazing menus and dishes, but his leadership and presence in the kitchen have been a positive influence for many years. Having him in the role as new Executive Chef positions Bambara to emerge from the pandemic stronger than ever."

Resnick recently served as Bambara's executive sous chef for five years and previously was the chef at Kimpton Nine Zero's Highball Lounge in Boston.

During his time with Kimpton, Resnick has served on multiple task forces in hotels and restaurants across the country, from Vero Beach, FL to Los Angeles, CA. Prior to joining Kimpton, he worked with several local, independent restaurants and at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, where he assisted culinary operations for the club's noteworthy banquets and galas.

Resnick is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.

A native of Newton, Resnick's interest in cooking began early on, as some of his favorite memories center around helping his mother and grandmother in the kitchen.

"We were never a take-out kind of family," Resnick said in a statement. "Mom was always cooking. Taking me to the grocery store and showing me how to pick-out the freshest produce. I was fishing and clamming in the summer. And making challah and fresh-baked cookies with my mother and grandmother was always a treat."

Resnick said the new role at Kimpton is a "dream come true."

"I want our guests to look at our menus and think, 'this all sounds so good. I can’t wait to try a bite of everything,’" he said. "Dishes may sound familiar to our guests, but they’ll have a new and different approach behind them."
