Ambergris Caye, Belize (PRWEB) August 07, 2014
Las Terrazas Resort, a premier luxury resort in Belize, is pleased to introduce the new O Restaurant Executive Chef Jeff Papendick. Chef Papy grew up in the culinary hotbed of the Napa Valley, California where a daily family routine revolving around food and wine made it obvious to him that he would pursue a career in the culinary arts and follow a path to becoming a chef. With over two decades of experience, Chef Papy has held positions at fine dining restaurants in the Napa Valley, including La Belle Helen, Calistoga Inn, Auberge Du Soleil, Domaine Chandon, Meadowood Resort and Spa, a 5-star luxury hotel where he was promoted to Sous Chef.
Chef Papy's career was broadened when he accepted an Executive Chef position at a prominent National Hotel Brand in the Mid-West. Upon completion of this contract, he furthered his culinary experience by working with a National Restaurant company developing new corporate menus, supervising special events and creating food and wine pairing dinners.
Chef Papy is culturally diverse in his style and food. After leaving the Mid-West, he spent several years working in the Caribbean, including Cayo Espanto in Belize, Cobalt Coast Resort in Grand Cayman and Pirates Point Resort in Little Cayman. His cuisine is California/Caribbean-influenced and very cutting-edge, utilizing only the freshest local and imported ingredients while implementing unique preparation techniques. Chef Papy and Las Terrazas Resort look forward to showcasing a fresh new culinary direction with both the local community to provide dining experiences that they can be proud of, and with our numerous guests from around the world to further establish Las Terrazas and O Restaurant as the preeminent dining destination in Belize.
