Emilio Gonzalez
Executive Chef
A graduate of the Illinois Institute of Art, Chef Emilio grew up with a deep appreciation for fresh and local ingredients learned by watching his parents work as farmers in the fields of Southern California.
Working in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother grew his passion for culinary arts and vegetable-forward thinking, which he now implements at the Club with a modern take on Classic International Cuisine.
Chef Emilio’s expertise is supported by a background as sous chef for The Lobby Restaurant, a Michelin-starred establishment during his time there. He has also excelled in dual roles; managing both restaurants and a in-room dining program, first as the Executive Sous Chef, and then as Executive Chef at the Conrad.
