Award Winning Chef Joins La Posada de Santa Fe, a Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spa
The culinary scene at La Posada de Santa Fe, a Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spa, has gotten even hotter with the recent appointment of Jon Jerman as executive chef.
Over the past two decades, Jerman has sharpened his award-winning skills at some of the most prestigious resorts in the country including the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia, the Harbor View Hotel in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts and the Sonnenalp Resort & Spa in Vail, Colorado.
“Exceptional hospitality and cuisine are long-standing traditions at La Posada,” said Joe Kelley, general manager of the resort. “Jon and I worked together previously and he has both the vision and expertise to build upon these traditions and take our culinary programs to even higher levels.”
Jerman’s vision incorporates upscale dining with regionally-inspired fare and unique menus at each of the resort’s venues. Restaurants include Julia, a Spirited Restaurant & Bar, named after Julia Staab, the resort’s original owner, legendary hostess and reputed ghost; the La Posada Patio for seasonal outdoor dining and The Staab House, named “Santa Fe’s Coziest Bar” by Travel+Leisure Magazine.
As a long-term advocate of the Farm to Table movement, Jerman utilizes locally sourced products including beef from a coop of small Native American ranches and produce from family-owned local farms. For food that cannot be obtained locally, he focuses on securing the highest quality products available from sustainable sources.
Signature dinner entrees include Grilled Coffee Rubbed Native American New York Strip with Dark Chocolate Mole Demi, Fresh Water Alamosa Striped Bass with Lime Emulsion and PEI Mussels with Crispy Spanish Chorizo and Tequila. View all of his restaurant menus or make reservations here.
