If you’ve hosted a private event or been an overnight guest at Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort, you’ve been the lucky recipient of some incredible and plentiful cuisine. And if you have been fortunate enough to participate in one of our BBQ Bootcamps, you’ve had the privilege of working right alongside and learning from the Master himself. Chef Pascal brings world-class expertise for the Alisal world-class experience, and then blends it with some innovation and freshness of his own. You can easily read Chef Pascal’s professional bio on our Website , but we wanted to showcase the personal side of Chef Pascal, as much as he would let us.
