The Path
Sedona’s red-rock kitchens shaped the work of Zach Woodworth through repetition, timing, and the discipline required to hold a line in service. At Hummingbird at Mii amo, where he served as Sous Chef until 2024, the craft was built in the day-to-day mechanics of a serious kitchen: sharpening technique, maintaining calm precision, and working within a culinary language that fit the place. That stretch gave his career structure and forward motion. Since 2024, he has served as Executive Chef of Mii amo, extending that same continuity into a larger responsibility. The move from Sous Chef to Executive Chef at the same property marks progression within a kitchen that had already formed his professional habits. In that position, Zach Woodworth now sets the tone from within, guiding the work with the steadiness earned on the line.
