When locals lamented the closure of Solvang’s Bacon & Brine in
August 2017, many didn’t know that Crystal DeLongpré — better known as
Chef Pink — landed a new job just two months later. That’s because Chef
Pink had so many changes to make at Root 246, the restaurant at Hotel
Corque owned by Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, her arrival there
wasn’t announced until last fall.
“I don’t think of this place as being a hotel restaurant,” said Chef
Pink recently, “but we had to prove ourselves when I started. Hey, we
can do this kind of food in this environment, and people are going to
embrace it.”
