Ross has been a professional chef since 1965 and was the chef/owner of Ross’ North Fork Restaurant in Southold, NY for 27 years. He is considered a pioneer of the Farm to Table movement. He cooked from scratch using local fresh ingredients procured from farm stands, seafood markets, and local wineries at a time when people were embracing convenience foods. He is the author of several books, The Poetry of Cooking, The Food and Wine of the North Fork, and The Story of North Fork Wine.

This image from our Charles Meredith collection is dated 1916. It is an image of the Peconic train platform filled with barrels and crates, most likely containing agricultural produce ready for shipment. This would have been a common scene in each of our communities along the railroad. The bounty of the North Fork was often sold to markets and restaurants in New York City.

Charles Meredith was a local photographer originally based out of Cutchogue. He photographed thousands of images of daily life including parades, accidents, funerals, and locales, covering all parts of Southold Township.
