Chris Kurth

Chef de Cuisine, Grant Grill

Chef de Cuisine Christopher Kurth has brought The Grant Grill to life with his passion for food. As the Chef de Cuisine, Chef Chris is responsible for all daily operations of the Grant Grill Kitchen. He creates daily specials that tantalize the pallet and soups that will make you cry (ok, maybe not really cry), but if you love food, you will appreciate his
clean style.

Chef Chris works with Executive Chef Mark Kropczynski to put together a menu using the freshest Local California Produce, Seafood and other ingredients. He believes that less is more when it comes to the fresh product that is used. Because of this, he is changing the menu daily as needed with a major change every two months. He also connects with the Sommelier Vernard Floranda weekly to develop a new 5 course Market
Menu, with Wine Pairings of course.

Chef Chris comes to The Grant Grill from some of the top restaurants in the area, in addition to a splash of luck from Las Vegas. His most recent position was that of the Chef Tounant at the 5 Diamond Resort, The Lodge at Torrey Pines. He has also been the Sous Chef at the 4 Star 4 Diamond L?Auberge Resort and Spa in Del Mar, CA. Another local restaurant was the Prince of Wales at the Hotel Del Coronado as the Sous Chef and
then Alize Restaurant in the Palms Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Under thedirection of 3 Star Michelin Chef, Andre Rochat..
