WHO WE ARE
Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton—the women behind Canal House Station—are cooks, writers, and artists. In 2007 they founded Canal House, which includes a publishing venture and a culinary, photography, and design studio. They are the creators of the seasonal cookbook series, Canal House Cooking. Their cookbook Canal House Cooks Every Day received a James Beard Award in 2012.
In 2019, Christopher and Melissa opened Canal House Station, a hidden gem tucked into an elegantly restored 1870s train station on the banks of the Delaware River in Milford, NJ. Their idiosyncratic, modern American cuisine is inspired by local ingredients that are ripe and in season in Hunterdon County, NJ and in Bucks County, PA. They are two women, cooking together, and sharing their love of gathering people around the table to eat good food. They have been nominated twice for a James Beard Foundation “Best Chef: Mid Atlantic” award.

RESERVATIONS FOR SPAGHETTI NIGHT
Make a reservation at Canal House Station on Friday nights and start your weekend Italian style. (We learned our spaghetti Bolognese skills in Bologna, in the Emilia Romagna! Arguably home of the finest food in Italy.) Bring a bottle of good Italian vino rosso and we’ll serve you a classic Italian American spaghetti dinner—Spaghetti Bolognese or Marinara, Canal House Garlic Bread, Baby Romaine Salad with Lemon Parmigiano Dressing and The Bent Spoon’s Tiramisu Ice Cream—Mamma mia! We are setting four long tables—you’ll get to know your neighbors—so come, grab a fork and spoon, tie a napkin around your neck, and iniziare a mangiare.
