Chef Lindsey

Lindsey returned to her hometown Sheridan, Wyoming with the goal to become an integral member of the Downtown community. Lindsey remembers growing up in her mother’s downtown business, Cottonwood Shop. This shaped her and gave her the entrepreneurial drive.  However, Lindsey reaches further back into her childhood for her passion. Lindsey remembers her grandfather making a pot of spaghetti and cooking it all day so the subtle flavors of the sauce would be more pronounced. Lindsey hopes she can pass along not only her love of cooking, but also the practical aspects of making a good meal, to her two daughters Lydia and Macey and son Kamden.

Lindsey is Verdello’s floor manager as well as Verdello’s premier wine and cheese connoisseur. Lindsey has completed a course with Murray’s Cheese in New York as well as her WSET Level 1, Sommelier Introductory. Currently, she is also working on her Level 2 certification.

Through Lindsey’s training, she has superior knowledge in wine and cheese pairings. Lindsey can give you the best advise of selecting the best wine for any meal and special event. Beyond her expertise in wine, cheeses, and meats, Lindsey is also dedicated to teaching Verdello customers that a healthy, home-made cooking may seem daunting, overwhelming, and easier to avoid, however, a good meal is within your grasp! Once you realize how simple it can be, you will never turn back. Our lives can be extremely hectic with all of our responsibilities, kids, work, etc., and having a good home meal should not be a stressful event. There is a trend of us moving away from the home-made family dinner, but it is important for our physical and mental health to revive this tradition.

Lindsey hopes she can pass along not only her love of cooking, but also the practical aspects of making a good meal, to her two daughters Lydia and Macey and son Kamden.
