Award-winning Chef Eddie Lee Bryant brings his memorable Southern Style cooking to The Cavalier Hotel serving as the Executive Chef. Since March 2008, Chef Bryant and his Culinary Crew have been “wow’ing” our guests with culinary creations in our restaurants & lounges.

Having had catered to various celebrity and political figures throughout his career, he values catering to that guest who is most important…you.

Guest satisfaction is the best reward a Chef can receive…that “wow”…that “Mmmm…this is great!”from the guest…the immediate reaction that needs no true words in order to say thanks.

With nearly 20 years in the culinary business world under his belt, Chef Bryant will tell you how honored & humbled he is to have such talented people working with him here at The Cavalier Hotel…from his sous chef, to his supervisors, cooks and stewards.

Ms. Carmen is the Pantry Supervisor and has a total of over 30 years here at the Cavalier alone! Ms. Carmen, known for her fruit & vegetable carvings, has been an employee for 35 years.

Please come and experience some of the wonderful creations made daily by this phenomenal creator.

The entire Food & Beverage staff prides themselves on the same philosophies that the guest is why we are here, doing what we do….
