Millwright's Restaurant Owner, of Avon, Makes CT Magazine's '40 Under 40' List

An Avon resident who is a chef at the Simsbury restaurant he owns has made Connecticut Magazine's "Top 40 Under 40" list for 2014.

Each year, the magazine recognizes young artists, community leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes and artists, among others, based on nominations and the magazine's editors. 

Tyler Anderson, 36, of Avon, who owns Millwright's in Simsbury, made the list.

Here's what Connecticut Magazine had to say about him: 

"Tyler Anderson had already blended, toasted, sautéed and roasted his way into our hearts during his years at the Copper Beech Inn. Now he’s knocking our socks off as chef/owner of stunning new Millwright’s Restaurant in Simsbury, while “turbo charging the local farming economy” with his commitment to local buying and an on-site farmers’ market. In addition, Anderson has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Liver Foundation, Connecticut Farmland Trust, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, St. Francis Hospital and the M.S. Society, and will be chairing Share our Strength in Hartford this year."
