Jesse Powers, a Connecticut native from Manchester, has worked at some of the best restaurants in the state. Working for Steve Cavagnaro at Cavey’s in Manchester Jesse learned the traditional cuisines of Italy and France, with both an attention to detail as well as a respect for ingredients at their peak. At both The Copper Beech Inn in Ivoryton and Millwright’s in Simsbury, both under Tyler Anderson, he explored contemporary American cuisine with a focus on New England ingredients and honed his leadership skills. He left the leadership of Tyler Anderson in October of 2016 to become the new Executive Chef at ON20, bringing new ideas and flavors to the 20th floor of the Hartford Steam Boiler Building.
