“I have traveled all over the world and never experienced as warm of a welcome as I did when I arrived in Bermuda,” says our new Executive Chef Karl Blunden.
Everyone here at The Reefs is excited to welcome Chef Karl. This is his first time on Bermuda and he brings a wealth of experience in hotel dining and food and beverage management from around the world.
Originally from England, Chef Karl began his career in London before serving in culinary management roles in Egypt, St. Lucia, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates. For the past four and a half years, he was the Complex Executive Chef at The Four Points by Sheraton in Dubai where he oversaw 11 dining venues and room service at two hotels.
“It is exciting to be back on an island after living in the desert for the past few years,” he continued. “I’m also thrilled to be part of the team at The Reefs, which has a very strong reputation as a leading resort on Bermuda.”
Chef Karl’s cuisine favors an Asian influence, which he says fits well with local island ingredients and seafood. “My goal is to use as much local produce as possible in our menus.” Look for his creations in daily specials and new menu items (coming soon).
The island life is also ideal for Chef Karl’s hobbies. When he is not cooking in the kitchen, he enjoys scuba diving (he’s a qualified rescue diver), fishing and playing golf (although he admits “very badly”).
“I look forward to enhancing the already excellent dining venues at The Reefs and getting to know the many Reefs repeaters,” adds Chef Karl.
