Dennis Durkin is working with Executive Chef Lloyd Spaulding on a new menu that will debut in October, featuring farm-to-table creations and Mediterranean-style meals.
Cobblestone Park Golf Course in Blythewood, S.C., recently added Dennis Durkin as its new Food and Beverage Manager. The semi-private club will also be introducing a new menu at its main restaurant, Alexander’s at Cobblestone Park.
“Dennis brings extensive knowledge in both culinary development and management to Cobblestone Park, Alexander’s and our catering services,” said General Manager Tom Graber. “He and Chef Lloyd (Spaulding) are already working side by side to enhance the dining experience here, including the introduction of a new menu later this fall.”
Durkin said that the new menu, expected in late October or early November, will feature fresh farm-to-table creations and a selection of items based around the healthy Mediterranean food concept.
“Our goal is to broaden our offerings, introduce more healthy gourmet choices, and give area residents—both inside and outside the gates—a new and upscale dining experience in a fabulous setting,” Durkin said. “We will be introducing new salads, entrees and desserts over the coming months and we plan to offer fresh seasonal selections.”
With more than 30 years in the culinary business as a chef and in management, Durkin served as Executive Chef at several fine-dining and casual restaurants. His resort experience includes Stafford’s Perry Hotel in Petoskey, Mich., The Burnt Island Bistro at Pine Bluff Resort in Curtis, Mich., and Black Mountain Lodge in Cheboygan, Mich. Most recently, he served as Executive Chef and Assistant Club Manager at Forest Creek Golf Club in Pinehurst, N.C.
Alexander’s at Cobblestone Park is located in the new 28,000-sq. ft. clubhouse overlooking the 18th hole and lake. It is open for lunch and dinner Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Cobblestone Park Golf Club is a 27-hole semi-private golf facility designed by P.B. Dye. The club’s Amenities Center offers a six-court tennis complex, a resort-style swimming pool, a gymnasium with basketball and volleyball courts and Alexander’s.
