Chef Corey Parenteau from Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort – Larchwood, IA
About Chef Corey: Executive Chef Corey Parenteau began his culinary journey at a young age cooking with his father and grandfather in their family restaurant. This introduction to the culinary arts was the catalyst for his love for food, recipe creation and serving others. Parenteau has worked in every position within the food service arena and served as an instructor for students working towards a culinary arts degree from Colorado Mountain College. At age 23, he was awarded a coveted position at the AAA Four Diamond Resort at Keystone in Summit County, Colorado where he served under his mentor, corporate Executive Chef Scott Rydek. After years in the mountains of Colorado, Parenteau moved to Denver where he opened three restaurants with business leaders and celebrity chefs like Chef Carrie Baird, Bravo’s “Top Chef” final four contestant on season 15. Parenteau’s strong roots and desire to be closer to family, along with the opportunity to serve as executive chef, brought him to the Sioux Falls area and Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort. Today, as the executive chef at Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort, Chef Corey Parenteau brings over 15 years of culinary experience to oversee Ruthie’s Steak & Seafood, Robert’s Buffet, Big Drop Café, and Grand Falls banquets culinary teams.
