Chef David’s Mission Statement:
As a graduate of United Kingdom’s City & Guilds Culinary College
and 25 year veteran of the culinary arts, I strive to create the freshest, ‘from-
scratch’ recipes and build menus that serve the most distinguished palates;
and, through the use of whole foods, fresh produce, and certified meats,
create culinary dishes that meet the most stringent parameters of cost,
quality and dietary restrictions, whilst adhering to the most conscientious
food handling, sanitation and hygiene practices.
In doing so, I produce with passion every meal,
every dish and every morsel, as if I were
cooking for my very own
family.
-Chef David
A 4-star career nurtured in luxury hotels, fostered in assisted living.

Hotel rose to national
importance as the official

in the telling of outrageous
‘tales of the road’, from
whence the famous phrase
‘Cock and Bull story’ derives.
