Throughout his illustrious career, Becker has worked with some of the country’s top culinary talent, including James Beard Award winners Marcus Samuelsson, Stephanie Izard, Norman Van Aken and Curtis Duffy, and Emmy Award winner and host of Chopped Ted Allen.
Chef Ross oversees all aspects of pastry operations at the resort and has been awarded more than 10 medals from the American Culinary Federation, including a gold medal for the Professional Chocolate Showpiece Culinary Masters 2012.
