Black Desert Resort, a new luxury destination in Southern Utah, is proud to announce the growth of its executive team with the appointments of Matthew Krueger as Executive Chef.
Originally from Arizona, Resort Executive Chef Matthew Krueger is a culinary mastermind who brings nearly 15 years of experience to his role at Black Desert Resort. Prior to joining the team, Krueger led the culinary sector at World Equestrian Center in Florida as executive chef and also held positions throughout his tenures at some of hospitality’s biggest names including Sea Island Resort in Georgia, Hotel Effie in Miramar Beach and The St. Regis Deer Valley in Park City.
As resort executive chef, Krueger is tasked with crafting the overall menu concepts, along with planning, organizing, and sourcing ingredients through local purveyors for dish development. For Krueger, a highlight of being a chef is guiding and inspiring his culinary team, and his goal is to craft an authentic and unparalleled dining experience for guests and the local community.
Black Desert Resort is poised to become a premier destination for luxury hospitality, golf, and Southern Utah adventure. The initial phase of the Resort Center is set to be complete this September, including nearly 800 rooms and suites, seven dining venues, a 15,000-square-foot spa, a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, beach oasis, and 45,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and event space.
