Coming Up
Formal training set the base of Chris Pratt’s work: Sullivan University, Le Cordon Bleu, Paris France, and Tennessee Technology Center at Elizabethton. That sequence gave him a broad technical footing, and his later roles show the value of that kind of schooling in kitchens where service, volume, and pace change from one operation to the next. Progression through ownership and executive posts shaped the next stretch of the work. Chris Pratt was Executive Chef and owner at The Formal Fig (2013–2021), where kitchen standards and business responsibility sat in the same job. He also served as Executive Chef at The Formal Fig Catering (2016–2020), carrying those standards into catered service, where timing, consistency, and plating have to hold up under pressure. Leadership across hotels and resorts extended that range. Chris Pratt was Executive Chef at Hotel North Woods (2019) and Hotel Northwoods (2020–2021), then Executive Chef at Stow flake Mountain Resort (2021–2022). He also became Master Chef at Cider Press at the Barn/ Nolan Brick oven Bistro (2021–2024), a role that marked a sustained period of senior kitchen work. In parallel, he served as Executive Chef at Path Resorts (2022–2025) and Master Chef at Steele Hill Resort (2022–2025), moving between operations with different service demands. His time as Camp Master at BSA Scouts adds another setting to that record of applied training.
