Chef Dale Talde
The Perry Hotel Naples, a 160-room hotel opening this year along Tamiami Trail and the Cocohatchee River, plans to open an open-air rooftop Cantonese chophouse called Tigress helmed by celebrity Chef Dale Talde. Talde is known for his innovative culinary style and appearances on “Top Chef: Chicago” and “Top Chef: All-Stars.” Talde brings his distinct Asian American experience to Tigress, blending the boldness of steakhouse fare with the intricate flavors of Cantonese cuisine. The menu includes dishes such as dry-aged crown of duck with red-cooked duck Hong Kong French toast, dry-aged beef potstickers with Chinese mustard and soy vinegar, a 20-ounce black Angus rib-eye topped with soy black garlic butter and blue crab fried rice with jalapeno aioli. The hotel also will launch Easy Tiger, a mixology lounge, curated by Lynnette Marrero, a mixologist and co-founder of Speed Rack.
