Ernesto Alvarado has been appointed as Executive Chef at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, a luxury AAA Five Diamond resort, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ernesto Alvarado as the property's new Executive Chef. In this role, he will oversee all culinary operations, menu design, and concept creation, as well as provide guidance and support to the leadership team.
With a career stretching back almost 25 years, Alvarado's experience spans all realms of the kitchen, from his first job as a dishwasher to working as a chef in various luxury resorts such as The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan in Puerto Rico, Kimpton Seafire Resort & Spa in Grand Cayman; and, most recently, at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he studied economics at the University of Puerto Rico, but found his true calling in the culinary world. Alvarado firmly believes in August Escoffier's quote, "Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness."
