Award-Winning Chef Marc Anthony Bynum
Chef Marc Anthony Bynum is a Long Island–born, award-winning culinary talent known for his bold, globally influenced approach to modern American cuisine. He began cooking as a teenager and went on to build a career that includes becoming a three-time champion on Food Network’s Chopped, operating restaurant concepts, consulting in hospitality, and serving as a personal chef for high-profile clients. His work is rooted in the idea that food should be both technically excellent and emotionally memorable — the kind of dining that brings people together and tells a story on the plate.
Beyond the kitchen, Chef Bynum is committed to mentorship, community engagement, and promoting better eating habits influenced by his own family’s health history. His style blends refined technique with soulful familiarity, which directly shapes the identity of Tasting Room Kitchen + Cocktails. Under his direction, the Farmingdale restaurant delivers a “global-meets-New American” menu that elevates comfort food into something experiential, making it a standout addition to the Long Island dining scene.
What Makes Tasting Room Different – A Global Take on Comfort Food
Chef Bynum reimagines familiar dishes with bold international elements. Guests can expect Italian Nachos topped with prosciutto, Thai Disco Fries with coconut and sriracha aioli, stuffed zucchini blossoms, and lobster egg rolls — shareables designed for cocktail pairing and social dining.
Elevated Pastas, Entrées & Handhelds
The menu moves beyond the expected — think fried tri-color lasagna with burrata, jambalaya pappardelle, miso-glazed salmon, jerk chicken with plantains, or a shaved ribeye Philly served hero-style with Cooper Sharp.
Indulgent Desserts & Craft Beverage Program
Finish with Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie or Rainbow Cookie Tartufo, and pair your meal with a Maple Bourbon Sour, Jalapeño Margarita, wine flight, or a thoughtfully built mocktail for non-drinkers.
