For seven years Canal House Station was an expression of our love of food and community. Now we have closed that chapter—the restaurant—to return to writing, photography, and illustration in our Canal House studio. We thank everyone who has supported us. We felt the love.
Every week we sent out our Sunday Dinner menu and heard back from so many people who were inspired by our offerings. Though we won’t be at the restaurant anymore, we will still be cooking (always cooking) every weekend for our family and friends, and will continue to share menus along with recipes with you. Maybe you will start your own Sunday Dinner practice.

Eat well, be happy.

Christopher & Melissa

“Trust them. They are the real deal.”
—David Tanis, cookbook author, and columnist for The New York Times

“Christopher Hirsheimer & Melissa Hamilton understand food so intuitively, cook it so superbly, and present it—whether in the form of words or images or (if you are really, really lucky) an actual plate in front of you straight from their kitchen—so accessibly that sometimes you just have to wonder why anybody else even bothers.”
—Colman Andrews, American writer and editor on food and wine, and Culinary Giant

“Combine kitchen stove commonsense with food that is drop dead gorgeous in its simplicity, and you have The Canal House. Christopher & Melissa give us hope that we can cook like that, too!” —Dorothy Kalins, Director, Dorothy Kalins Ink, and founding editor-in-chief, Saveur
