Chef Ben Hunt - Catamount Ranch & Club, Golf Course

Having great after school jobs got me into the industry. After a few years of scooping ice cream and making pasta, I went culinary school in Pittsburgh, then on to Chicago for ten years. Working in the hardest kitchens I could find with the best chefs possible was the goal - Four Seasons Hotel, Park Grill, MK, Pump Room,Boka and others. After a few ski vacations to Steamboat the deal was sealed and I've been under the Yampa Valley curse since 2007. Since then, I have been chef at Catamount Golf house, Rex’s and Mazzola’s. I like outdoor activities including skiing, hiking, and golf.

Chef Ben will be preparing Chicken Satay with Spicy Do-si-Dos Sauce.

Chef Daniel T. Hoffman, Catamount Ranch & Club, Lake House

I moved to Steamboat Springs from Napa, CA in 2000 to work at Ragnars and snowboard.  I had worked seasonally in Alaska at Brooks Lodge in Katmai National Park and returned to Ragnars and snowboarding year after year.  In 2006 I decided to make Steamboat Springs my full time home.  I was lucky enough to be offered an opportunity at Catamount Ranch and Club in 2007.  Hundreds of banquets and menus later I’m attempting my Executive Chef certification. My commitment to my work to serving our members with world class customer service and taking every advantage of the wonderful outdoors that surround Steamboat Springs.   

Chef Dan will be preparing Lamb Chop Thin Mint Mole. 

Chef Joe, Creekside Café

Joe attended Illinois Central College and obtained degrees in culinary arts and restaurant management.  Joe has worked in a number of restaurants and has experience in all facets of the restaurant business.  He currently prepares breakfast and lunch for Creekside Café. 

Chef Joe will be preparing Ancho Tenderloin Crostini (Trefoil)

Chef Heather Craigen, Moving Mountains

Heather’s interest in food began when she accepted the Chef position onboard Endless Summer II, a yacht based in the British Virgin Islands. Cooking three meals a day for 11 people in a galley measuring 4’x4’ proved to be a challenge she was excited by. Starting the day with a snorkel or a beach run provided her with plenty of enthusiasm to share this Caribbean experience with her guests.  In 1988, Heather and her husband, Robin, started Moving Mountains Chalets in Steamboat Springs. The Luxury Catered Chalet experience provides a complete package with lodging in one of our premier residences, meals and transportation. Our staff’s mission is to exceed our guests’ expectations. Heather's cooking is legendary in Steamboat where she oversees the menus and food preparation for all of the chalets. Heather has attended classes at Le Cordon Bleu in London and Ottawa, The Culinary Institute of American in Napa and the International School of Baking in Bend, Oregon. While travelling through Europe in a VW minibus, she has authored her own cookbook, Simple Pleasures, which highlights her most successful creations.Heather loves living in Steamboat with her family of Robin, Maddie and Chili. They all enjoy skiing/snowboarding, mountain biking and camping trips. Annual trips back to the beach or on the ocean are always anticipated with great excitement!.

   Chef Heather will be preparing lemon & almond crusted shrimp (Savannah Smiles) with cilantro pesto.
