Mt. Hood Restaurants & Dining

Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Executive Chef Paul Bosch developed a long-standing interest and pursuit of all things culinary. Having achieved his undergraduate degree in Food & Nutrition (specializing in Hotel & Restaurant Administration) from Southern Illinois University, Paul later earned a degree in the Culinary Arts from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.

To stay at the top of his culinary "game" Paul maintains active membership status in the National Sommelier Society and the Alpha Zeta agricultural fraternity.

Before joining The Resort at The Mountain team, Paul was Restaurant Chef at Skamania Lodge, Executive Chef at Southwest Washington Medical Center and Commissary Manager at Elephants Delicatessen.

Influenced by some of the best and most high profile international chefs -- Grant Achatz from Alinea Restaurant in Chicago, Feran Adria from El Bulli in Spain, and Charlie Trotter also of Chicago, Paul is guided by his overall "anything's possible" approach to and way of thinking about cuisine. It is this philosophy that drives the direction of The Resort's culinary team and the promise of both the Altitude and mallards cafe & pub menus.

Though Paul remembers as a young boy his mom telling him "Don't play with your food," that is precisely what he and his Resort kitchen teams do at each meal period. Respectfully play with the food... modify textures, present items creatively... open up flavors boldly. Bon Appetit!
