As the resort’s new executive chef, Edwin Scholly is in charge of the menus at its four concepts: Margie’s Haas, Revel Lounge, Mountain Ration Grab & Go and 10th Mountain. He’ll also lead an apprenticeship program, training cooks earning a culinary arts degree.

Other notable clients included Madonna and President Donald Trump, for whom he cooked aboard one of his yachts, according to his agency biography. He’s also worked in other U.S. restaurants and hotels, including most recently in Lynchburg, Va.
