The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort, a MMI Hotel Group property, is pleased to announce the appointment of Thomas Cook as Executive Chef. His arrival marks the unveiling of a new menu at ECHO, featuring additional fresh seafood and vegetarian dishes along with old favorites. Prior to joining The King and Prince, Cook worked in some of the most prominent kitchens on the Los Angeles restaurant scene, including a stint at award-winning Campanile working alongside Executive Chef and Owner Mark Peel. “I really appreciate and revere the history of the resort,” said Cook. “My culinary vision here is to reinvent the classics, respectfully nodding to the past but elevating the resort’s offerings ever so slightly.” General Manager Bart Johnson says, “We’re thrilled to have Chef Tom join the King and Prince family. He’s a talented chef with an impressive culinary background.” kingandprince.com
