Ty Thaxton has been appointed as Executive Chef at Carmel Valley Ranch
Carmel Valley Ranch is pleased to announce the appointment of an acclaimed culinary talent, Executive Chef Ty Thaxton, to lead its signature restaurant, Valley Kitchen. Building on the restaurant's recent enhancements in 2024, the new chef is ushering in a bold new chapter for the Ranch's dining experience, focusing on hyper-seasonal, "seed-to-fork" California cuisine that celebrates the land.
Chef Thaxton will oversee all culinary operations, bringing a background rich with Michelin-level staging, James Beard dinners, and executive chef posts at Ritz-Carlton properties in Washington, D.C. and Cancun. This classically trained chef, who has over 20 years of international culinary leadership, is set to translate his experience into a distinctly Carmel Valley flavor profile.
