Saratoga Restaurateurs Nominated for America’s Favorite Couple

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Zac Denham and Clark Gale, co-owners of Bocage Champagne Bar and the forthcoming Standard Fare, are in the running to be named “America’s Favorite Couple.”

The duo is participating in a contest organized by Variety magazine, a popular Hollywood trade publication. As part of the contest, Denham and Gale are raising money for Oceana, a nonprofit focused on ocean conservation.

As of press time, the couple was ranked first in their group, with the initial round of voting set to close on July 10 at 10 p.m. ET. The contest winners will receive $20,000 and an advertorial in Variety.

Denham and Gale once partnered with actor Ted Danson for an Oceana fundraiser in New York City that drew 200 guests, including celebrities like Rumer Willis and David and Susan Rockefeller. The event raised $1.5 million.

The couple’s latest venture, Standard Fare, is expected to open on Phila Street sometime in late July or early August.
