For yet another year, Tim Wood stands out as a ringleader amongst an already insanely talented pool of local chefs. Wood has taken his years of experience working in some of the most demanding markets in the restaurant industry – New York City, Napa Valley and, of course, Carmel Valley at Carmel Valley Ranch and Bernardus Lodge – and channeled it into his restaurants and leadership. A mentor to the next generation of chefs and a champion of local produce, Wood deservingly takes the Best Chef crown for yet another year.
