• Eben Copple

  Director of Hospitality

  Eben Copple loves food, drawing culinary inspiration from the local Kansas farmer's markets he visited with his parents in his youth. The Kansas native honed his chef credentials at local restaurants like Lidia’s Kansas City, owned by celebrity chef, television host, author, and restauranteur Lidia Bastianich, and Eleven, an innovative eatery in Pittsburgh, PA’s Strip District.

  Chef Eben continued his career at several of New York City’s top restaurants, including WD-50, a Lower East Side mecca of modernist cooking; Barbuto, a beloved West Village Italian spot; and Jovia, a New American restaurant tucked in an Upper East Side townhouse. In 2007, Eben brought his passion for fresh, local flavor to the Yardley Inn in Yardley, PA, as Executive Chef. There, he started the organic riverside kitchen garden that provided a variety of vegetables and herbs for his seasonal menus.

  As Culinary Director of Genesis Hospitality, Eben works closely with the Executive Chefs in the group—at properties such as The Peacock Inn, Chez Alice Patisserie, and Proof Pizza in Princeton, NJ; and Washington Crossing Inn in Washington Crossing, PA—to build upon their unique restaurant concepts and develop new, exciting ones.
