Executive Chef, Dave Gutowski
Executive Chef, David Gutowski is a "transplant" (yes that is what we all call ourselves!) from Peekskill, New York. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. After an externship in Telluride, Colorado, David decided he rather like the mountain environment and we know that the mountains decidedly like him. New York, though, still sees him on his many visits back home to eat in the fabulous restaurants and visit family and friends.
 David spent three years as the Sous Chef of the popular and upscale Beanos Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain and moved on to become part of the opening staff of The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch. As their Sous Chef, David spent his years with The Ritz Carlton at Remingtons, the flagship restaurant of this luxury hotel. When the company presented an opportunity for travel, David worked with Pastry in St. Thomas, the restaurant in the Ritz New Orleans, and furthered his well-rounded experience in the banquet wing of Buckhead's and Key Biscayne's Ritz Carlton.
Fortunately, there is no snowboarding in any of those locations (and the golf here is just fine, thank you), so David came back to where his heart lies, Beaver Creek, Colorado. David has been the Sous Chef for Grouse Mountain Grill since June of 2007and was promoted to Executive Chef in September, 2009.
David is engaged to be married next October to wonderful Jaimie, who is also involved in restaurants and hospitality. David's mother is Italian (she loves to cook, especially bake, and keep up on all the NYC food blogs,) and his father is Polish. I guess it is no wonder that his favorite food is Chinese (?!) Egg Drop Soup, of which he is a self-proclaimed connoisseur. New York's Gotham Bar and Grill and Momo Fuku Milk Bar (for dessert) are two of his favorite restaurants back home.
David likes nothing better than to make the customers of Grouse Mountain Grill happy with his knack for pairing just the right ingredients in ways that delight, surprise and comfort them. He specializes in staying in touch personally with the guests and staff ensuring nothing but perfection on the plate. His big smile, big personality and big talent translate into a truly great Chef.
