A #FRESH Culinary Adventure at Barnwood Restaurant in Catskill, NY

As a photographer, fitness model, and certified bodybuilding + sports nutrition coach, I have been on a quest to discover the most authentic and delicious restaurants throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills that feature the best protein-packed burgers. My latest stop led me to the unassuming yet delightful Barnwood Restaurant in Catskill, NY. From the outside, it appeared to be a casual spot where locals gather, and my experience proved it was precisely that - a hidden gem serving rustic, homemade, and scrumptious food.

My hubby and I began our culinary adventure with some refreshing drinks: a local dark lager beer for him, and a Sweet as Peach cocktail for myself. This delightful concoction featured coconut rum, peach schnapps, triple sec, pineapple juice, and a cherry and orange garnish - the perfect way to start our meal.

We couldn't resist trying their Roadhouse Wings, pecan smoked in a mouthwatering BBQ sauce. For our main course, we indulged in delicious burgers loaded with smokey bacon and cheese, accompanied by crispy fries and a flavorful macaroni salad. As a photographer, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take some cool shots of this mouthwatering food, capturing its juicy goodness (see the photo gallery below).
