Chef of the Year
Karl O'Dell Executive Chef - CORD
I’m nominating Chef Karl O’Dell because his dishes stay with you long after the meal. His unforgettable presentation shows the care and dedication he puts into every detail. For me, that ability to make food both beautiful and memorable is what makes him deserving of Chef of the Year.
