Award-Winning Hotel Chef Brings Home The Gold from Famed Devoured Phoenix Foodie Event

PHOENIX - March 16, 2015 - PRLog -- The Crowne Plaza Phoenix Airport hotel announces that celebrated Executive Chef Dennis Delamater once again bought home the gold from this year’s Devoured Phoenix food event. Delamater won gold last year for the hotel, and returned in 2015 with his award-winning braised rabbit in a white wine mushroom cream sauce with a hint of Dijon mustard; topped with an eye-catching and cheeky garnish of carrot chips. For dessert lovers, Delamater served up a zesty Meyer’s lemon tart topped with raspberry/prickly pear sorbet.  The gold medals were awarded earlier this week.

Chef Dennis oversees a complex, yet satisfying food and beverage strategy for the property including the hotel’s two revered dining outlets; The Post (serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a trendy, onsite restaurant with tables overlooking the pool terrace, as well as seasonal outside seating), and Perch (a three-level bar lounge featuring local beer, craft wine, signature cocktails and light fare), and as well as in-room dining and onsite social catering. Delamater’s approach to the property’s food, beverage and dessert programs focuses on homemade quality with a balanced palate, traditional European influences and downhome American ingenuity.

“It’s such an honor to work with the top chefs and culinary minds that make up the Phoenix foodie scene, but the fans who come to the Devoured Phoenix events are truly the proverbial proof in the pudding,” states Executive Chef Dennis Delamater.  “My team and I have worked hard and smart to bring an incomparable level of flavor and flair to this year’s event, and bringing home the gold once again proves that we’re on trend with what Phoenician eaters love about us.”
