i. Biography
Adam Hyatt’s current post as Executive Chef of the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa, Florida, sits inside a Florida kitchen record built through station work, group operations, chef-partner responsibility, hotel production, and full-service daily execution. The through-line is practical scope: Palm Harbor, Jacksonville, and Tampa roles that move from individual service responsibilities to brand, partnership, and hotel-kitchen demands.
Coming Up
Florida kitchen progression in Hyatt’s record runs through Mystic Fish in Palm Harbor, Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion, and Ciccio Restaurant Group before the chef-partner role at Platt Street Borough. The work then widened into Executive Chef posts at HEW Parlor & Chophouse, Fenway Hotel (from 2018), and Steelbach in Armature Works, Tampa. The current chapter is hotel-based: Adam is Executive Chef of Epicurean Hotel / Epicurean Tampa (since 2021), carrying a Tampa Bay-shaped working range into a property kitchen with multiple service periods.
Where They Are Now
The Executive Chef role at the Epicurean Hotel, also identified as Epicurean Tampa, in Tampa, Florida, gathers several kinds of kitchen experience into one remit: the Palm Harbor sous-chef foundation, the Jacksonville Executive Chef partner post, the Ciccio Restaurant Group operations work, the Tampa chef-partner chapter, the Dunedin Executive Chef role, and the Steelbach Executive Chef post. Hotel cooking is a different measure of consistency than a single nightly service. At the Epicurean Hotel, Hyatt’s responsibility covers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus, which means the kitchen has to hold standards across the full daily cycle of guest demand, from morning production through evening service.
Signature
The named dishes attached to Hyatt’s work show a kitchen comfortable moving between luxury product, offal, shellfish, game, and breakfast-format meat cookery: Japanese A-5 Waygu Beef Nigiri, Chicken Liver Ravioli, Lobster Crepe, Rohan Duck & Biscuits, and Grass Fed Beef Short Rib Hash.
