Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) January 17, 2015 -- Hotel Phillips, a historic and prestigious boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, announced today that Frank Lalumia is the hotel’s new Executive Chef.
Most recently, Lalumia worked at Argosy Casino Hotel and Spa as Chef and Restaurant Manager, where he was responsible for four unique restaurants and well as the training of more than 65 employees. During his seven year tenure at Argosy, Lalumia showcased his acumen for preparing luxury dishes and menus, as well as mentoring his team.
“We are thrilled to welcome Frank Lalumia to Hotel Phillips as the new Executive Chef for our hotel and our restaurant, 12 Baltimore,” said Gerald Rappaport, the General Manager at Hotel Phillips. “He is a tremendous addition to our team, and we cannot wait for our guests to taste and experience his decadent creations!”
Native to Kansas City, Lalumia attended the Art Institute in Houston, Texas, where he earned his impressive culinary credentials. While working as the Executive Chef at the Riverside Country Club in Lake Jackson, Tex., he successfully executed many events and exceeded his goals in revenue and food costs.
“The greatest accomplishment of any chef is when the guests are more excited about the food on the menu than the chef,” said Lalumia. “I hope to inspire and excite the guests of Hotel Phillips with my culinary vision for many years to come.”
One of Lalumia’s first orders of business was to create an innovative menu for Kansas City’s upcoming Restaurant Week. From Friday, January 16 to Sunday, January 25, guests will enjoy a special fixed-price menu including a starter, entrée and dessert for a total of $33 per person. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to five local charities. See below for more details.
