EXECUTIVE CHEF/OWNER JOSH MONROE
Chef Josh grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina and began his culinary career working for his father’s restaurant at the age of 14 . The chef there was impressed with him and encouraged him to continue in the profession. After working his way up to kitchen manager in a private dinner club, Josh decided to expand his knowledge with a formal culinary training by attending AB-Tech Culinary Institute and gold medal winner for the ACF.
There he lead the culinary Olympic team to gold medals and was recognized by the American Culinary Foundation. With this recognition he quickly moved to positions at four star establishments including Richmond Hill Inn.
Chef Josh brought his passion for fresh quality ingredients to the Chef’s Table. Here he had the freedom to express his personal culinary vision and share his dedication to fresh, local grown, organic products with his patrons.
Since then he have adopted the Slow Food Movement growing many of the vegetables used in the restaurant in their own personal farm when season permits. Chef Josh is also a continued supporter of local farms and you may see him on any given day at any one of Haywood County’s local farmers market.
The menu at the Chef’s Table changes seasonally and specials are offered on a regular basis to take advantage of ingredients at their peak freshness.
