This marks Chef Kilgore’s first season as Executive Chef overseeing the culinary program at Waterfall Resort after serving as Chef de Cuisine last year at Steamboat Bay Fishing Club. Previously, Chef Kilgore was Executive Chef of Copper River Lodge in Pope Vannoy, Alaska, a subsidiary of Sweetwater Travel.

“We are excited to welcome Chef Kilgore to our leadership team at Waterfall Resort,” said Steve Cockrell, General Manager at The Waterfall Group. “She has been a driving force behind the success of Steamboat Bay Fishing Club’s 2014 culinary programs. Now guests at both of our Alaska sport fishing properties will benefit from dining experiences that feature her innovative approach to upscale comfort food.”
In her new role, Chef Kilgore will take a casual and accessible approach to the menu at Waterfall Resort while focusing on quality. After a full day of fishing, guests will feast on hearty Alaskan fare suitable for hungry anglers. The enhanced culinary program under Chef Kilgore will offer a rotating assortment of noteworthy dishes served buffet-style, including traditional favorites like grilled Angus beef, lasagna, prime rib, creamy Dijon stroganoff and roasted chicken combined with a taste of fresh Alaskan seafood such as Cedar Plank Salmon, Dungeness Crab and Halibut.
