Satisfying the Appetites of Fox Cities Food Lovers

While some Members can't wait to hit our championship golf course, others come eager to sample the mouth-watering creations of our executive chef - Crab Cakes, Captain Morgan Shrimp and Double Marinated Beef Tenderloin are just a few.

Chef Todd began learning his way around the kitchen as a dishwasher at age 14, and has since spent over 30 years in the food business. His cooking style is based around making dishes from scratch and using seasonally fresh foods at their peak. Some classic examples of this? His frequent trips to the local farmers' markets, relationships he's developed with area growers and the use of his own produce and herbs grown right outside the clubhouse.

As Chef Todd keeps busy crafting his cuisine for daily diners, wedding receptions, company meetings and other events, he also enjoys interacting with Club Members and says he's happy to be surrounded by a cooking staff that shares his passion for the culinary arts.

Some highlights from Chef Todd's career in food include:

• Over 20 years of country club experience
  
• Developing and executing all of the varied foods offered to the 12,000 daily visitors at the Tom Lehman's Dayton's Challenge professional golf tournament in Minneapolis
  
• The depth of versatility gained by running kitchens of every venue: hotels, private catering, small family-run restaurants as well as national chains and The Café at Nordstrom's in the Mall of America
  
• Seeking continuing education through courses at the Culinary Institute of America and through private instruction with renowned chefs throughout the country
