From Garden to Plate: Hunter Mangano’s Journey at Shou Sugi Ban House

Hunter Mangano, Southampton Local, serves as Shou Sugi Ban House’s in-house/local Horticulturalist

At Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, you are immersed in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, or the art of impermanence. Known for its spa, nutrition, and lodging facilities, Shou Sugi Ban House was designed by New York and Hamptons architect Debbie Kropf, who artfully chose to infuse elements of the local Hamptons landscape with Japanese principals similar to that of the “ryokan” or a traditional Japanese inn. Aside from its serene and upscale spa services, Shou Sugi Ban House is set apart by its on-property greenhouse, gardens, berry patch, and orchard, all of which are used to make meals for guests of SSBH.

 

Hunter Mangano, Southampton Local, serves as Shou Sugi Ban House’s in-house/local Horticulturalist. After studying Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems at the University of New Hampshire, Mangano started with SSBH as a server in 2018 before taking over managing the culinary gardens in 2023. Mangano told me, “Coming into 2023 I left the kitchen so I could focus solely on the garden, as well as the berry patch and apple orchard on the property. I learned a lot, from kitchen skills to fruit/vegetable varieties to the science and chemistry behind cooking.”

 

So, what does a day in the life of SSBH in-house horticulturist look like? Hunter mapped out how he works collaboratively with SSBH chefs to ensure he’s well-prepared come harvest season. “Before the season starts, I sit down with the chefs to discuss what they would like to use in the garden for that year (the menu changes every year, and so do the herbs and veggies grown in the garden). Then comes planting,” Mangano continued, “I start all the seeds I can in my greenhouse to be transplanted at SSBH.” He aims to harvest twice a week for the kitchen, ensuring that each guest’s meal is prepared with only the freshest ingredients. In some cases, if SSBH’s chefs decide they need a last-minute ingredient or something that is too tricky for Mangano to grow, he says, “I’ll buy those plants from another local farm (Green Thumb, because they grow a lot of specialty greens and herbs).” Another example of the distances Shou Sugi Ban House goes to to bring fresh farm produce to the plate.

 

Outside of SSBH, Hunter also runs his own personal garden and custom harvest business under the name “Alewife Gardens” which provides a varying batch of fresh and locally grown produce and veggies for its clients weekly. Mangano jokes, “So if I’m not in the garden at SSBH, you’ll probably find me in another garden!”

  • “Only the Timeless,” Remembering Iconic Hamptons Architect Myron Goldfinger

  • Enjoy the Warmth of Community This Fall at LongHouse

LongHouse Reserve is unbelievably beautiful. Whether you’re here for the summer or visiting from out of town, LongHouse is a must-visit. It’s not just a place for art but a true community hub offering tranquility and a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders. It’s a sanctuary of peace.

This fall, there’s a buzz in the air, thanks to the efforts of LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt, who is a relatively new local herself. She’s been working to create more engaging community events and has extended LongHouse’s open season well into the fall and possibly even the winter. @longhousereserve

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac
