I lead a team of culinarians at three outlets, a upscale modern southern restaurant, a traditional BBQ outlet and a grab and go deli concept. The team that I lead does all cooking from scratch and uses local products whenever available. I have partnered with our maintenance director to grow as much produce as we can on site. We currently grow and sell our produce at the resort. I incorporate 75% of the menu with what we grow on property and had plans to expand this. I give a garden tour to guests who sign up and end the tour with a meal comprised of all the ingredients they were exposed to. I have changed the venue and the dynamic of the resort to focus on what we offer rather than who we can bring in. The entire focus is now how we can keep the guest on the resort.
