According to The Canyons press release this morning, Utah’s largest resort is excited to announce several changes within their Food and Beverage team. Most resorts in Park City are busy preparing new winter menus and are beginning to staff up for the seasons, and The Canyons is thrilled to have newly  appointed Chef Clement Gelas assisting their team. Gelas will be heading up the F & B team at The Grand Summit Hotel as their Executive Chef. Originally from Boenge France, Gelas has spent time showcasing his talent in France, New York, and in 2005 made the move to Utah where he was the Executive Chef at Bill White’s Wahso.

In 2008, Chef John Murcko of The Talisker Club approached Gelas and invited him to join the Talisker culinary team. At Talisker, Gelas was responsible for the Tuhaye Table Café. Now, as Executive Chef of The Grand Summit Hotel, Gelas is responsible for menu creation at The Cabin restaurant, Doc’s at The Gondola, and First Tracks Café. Gelas will be working to incorporate seasonal menus using local products and styles from his home country at each of these places and looks forward to the upcoming winter season.” – The Canyons Press Release
