We are proud to introduce Executive Chef Greg Lopez as the first culinary talent featured in our Chef’s Table series—an experience designed to highlight the passion, creativity, and global influences of the chefs who shape our culinary program at Omni Bedford Springs Resort& Spa.
A Pennsylvania native, Chef Greg’s path to the kitchen was anything but traditional. A notoriously selective eater in his youth—surviving primarily on grilled cheese and chocolate—Greg was “encouraged” into his first job at age 11, washing dishes at Vito’s Pizzeria and Spaghetti Palace on the Jersey Shore. That first summer behind the scenes introduced him to the fast-paced energy, unpredictable characters, and electric atmosphere of restaurant life. He was hooked.
What followed was a steady climb through the culinary ranks—from dish pit to line cook (thanks to a last-minute callout), to a career spanning more than three decades in kitchens across the U.S. and abroad. After a brief stint at university and a quick realization that the traditional route wasn’t for him, Greg went on to graduate from the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. He then sharpened his skills through extensive wine training in Napa Valley (some formal, some...enthusiastically self-guided), and earned his culinary stripes in renowned 4- and 5-Diamond hotels, resorts, and restaurants in New Orleans, Seattle, Miami Beach, Westpunt (Curaçao), Carmel-by-the-Sea, and more.
In the summer of 2024, we were delighted to welcome Chef Greg to Omni Bedford Springs Resort as our Executive Chef. His culinary philosophy embraces a global perspective—where borders blur and the only rule is what tastes good together. “Flavors don’t recognize lines on a map,” he says. His menus are driven by curiosity, creativity, and a healthy dose of culinary whimsy.
When he’s not leading the charge in our kitchens, you’ll likely find Greg outside—cycling, inline skating, hiking, paddleboarding—or in the gym working off one meal to make room for the next.
Please join us in celebrating Executive Chef Greg Lopez, a true culinary ambassador whose sense of adventure and deep love for food shine through in every dish.
