In April 2007, Guy Gateau joined the Biltmore as Director of Culinary Operations. As a Maître Cuisinier de France (Master Chef of France), Gateau brings a wealth of experience from the highest echelons of cuisine around the world. Gateau supervises all the restaurants, room service and catering at the Biltmore, overseeing a team of over 200 staff members.

“Though we have very talented, creative chefs on our team,” says Gateau “my role is to offer the guidance, motivation and vision needed to take Biltmore’s culinary program to an extraordinary level.”

As Director of Culinary Operations, Gateau masterfully conducts the rhythm and flow of multiple venues throughout the resort. Every day — and often through the night — the Biltmore’s 33 meeting and banquet rooms are hosting events that include food and beverage service. The banquet team produces feasts for numerous simultaneous events: from a breakfast seminar, to an ornate affair, to a corporate luncheon, to an elaborate wedding extravaganza. Gateau also oversees the smooth operation of the Biltmore’s six restaurants and bars, maintaining the quality and efficiency of food and beverage throughout the resort — without missing a beat.

Guy Gateau’s childhood in the vineyards of the Loire Valley in France inspired him to pursue a culinary career, which began in Michelin-star restaurants such as Le Relais de Parcs, Restaurant Alain Chapel, and Restaurant Laurent. He was also Chef de Cuisine at the Canadian Embassy in Moscow.

Gateau moved to Miami in 1983 to open the Pavillon Hotel (now the Miami InterContinental). He also led the culinary operations at The Potomac and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York. In 1990, Gateau opened his own restaurant, Maison Gateau, near Washington D.C., which the Washington Post named “best French restaurant in the last ten years.“ In the 1990s, Gateau was Director of Culinary Operations for the legendary Fouquet’s in Paris and for Les Bistrots des Cuisiniers, a gastronomic bistro group of six restaurants in France.

In 1999, Gateau became Director of Culinary Operations for The Royal Palace of the Emir of Qatar in Doha, Qatar, personally executing all functions for visiting dignitaries and heads of state. After the events of September 11, 2001 Gateau created his own company, Creative Culinary Solutions International, handling contracts throughout the world for luxury hotels and restaurants. Prior to joining the Biltmore, Gateau was Director of Culinary Operations for Marietta Country Club in Marietta, Georgia, one of the most exclusive memberships in the country.

From this vast r e p e r t o i r e o f experience around the world, Gateau has fine tuned his very own distinct culinary style. “I have picked up nuances from each of the cultures I have worked in, yet above all, my main focus is to respect the quality of the product,” says Gateau. “This entails using the best ingredients at the right time, like fruit at its peak of ripeness. I also like to know the origin of my products, such as the soil where the wheat flour comes from, how it was grown — and how the beef I am offering to my clients was raised and fed.”

At the Biltmore, fresh fish is ordered and delivered daily. Imported fish and seasonal products, such as Dover Sole, European Turbot or Nantucket Bay Scallops, are flown in as needed. “Next season we will offer our customers specially-

Shortly after his arrival to the Biltmore, Gateau inspected the facilities and realized the walls are thick enough to keep certain areas naturally cool without refrigeration. A “still room” will be created to store fresh fruits and vegetables, such as vine-grown, hand-picked tomatoes arriving directly from the field.

We invite you to experience a journey into a unique culinary destination, brought to you by Master Chef Guy Gateau and the dedicated team at the Biltmore.

TALK ABOUT WINE AND SPIRITS

So This Man Walks Into a Bar...

Sommelier SelectionCeretto Arneis Blangé, 2005The family-owned Ceretto estate in Italy has been producing wine for over 70 years, and is now headed by the third generation. Arneis, an indigenous white grape varietal from Piedmont, Italy, remained in relative obscurity until it made a comeback in recent years thanks to considerable investment by Ceretto.

The 2005 vintage has a light spritzy sparkle that makes it very lively and enhances the fragrance and flavors. The wine shows a characteristically fruity nose, with pear and apple aromas highlighted by a touch of citrus. On the palate, it is lean and dry, with hints of apple and honey. The finish is clean, with faint butterscotch notes.

Its pleasing virtues and crisp elegance make this a versatile wine, which may be served as an aperitif, or alongside vegetable antipasti, or with simple seafood fare — an ideal pairing for South Florida’s summer season.

When did you become Biltmore Cellar Club members?1999, we moved from Paris to Miami on a Saturday. On Sunday, my husband Thierry, who was familiar with the Biltmore, told me he had a surprise for me. He took me to the Biltmore’s Sunday Champagne Brunch — and we have been addicted ever since.

How has the Biltmore enhanced your personal and professional lives?The Biltmore offers a perfect balance between the “old world” feeling and its innovative food and wine programs, which are amazing. Our family, friends and clients always enjoy the time they spend at the Biltmore with us. Coming to the Biltmore is like going on vacation for both of us. There are all the pleasant features we like: the cabanas, the gym, golf...and the Grand European Spa, which is one of my favorite treats.

Patou, how would you characterize/describe your artwork? I would characterize my work “Emotional Abstract Painting.” My paintings are the reflection and interaction of nature and emotions, which are my complete inspiration. I use oil on canvas, which I adore because it offers a unique intensity, deepness and three-dimensional effect that I seek. I create my own colors — color is my signature.

Patou, as an artist, from where do you draw your inspiration?I draw my inspiration from nature, animals, emotions.

Thierry, what is the most satisfying aspect of your work?In the gallery, the most satisfying aspect is to share the artwork of different artists from all over the world with the public.

Do you have a favorite travel destination when you want to escape? Anywhere with beautiful surroundings, especially good food and wine!

What type of food & wine do you typically enjoy at home?French food, French cheese and a nice bottle of wine…

What would you say is your one true shared passion?Art and Art.

What has been the most memorable experience (so far!) you have had at the Biltmore?There are so many, it’s very hard to pick one. When we went to our first Interactive Culinary Demonstration Luncheon, it was so much fun: the ambiance, the food, the Champagne. I can’t resist mentioning how spectacular our first Black-Tie Gala Dinner evening was. At that event, we met Yvonne Roberts, and were very impressed by her diverse talents. For each event, she creates an unforgettable “souvenir.”
