Seasoned Chef Ramiro Scavo brings culinary expertise to The Grill at Hacienda del Sol
Tucson, Ariz. – MaRKeT Restaurant Group Corporate Chef Ramiro Scavo, of Zona 78 and the new Northwest restaurant Harvest, is expanding his role with the company, and will now lend his expertise and culinary style to Hacienda del Sol’s award-winning restaurant, The Grill.
Scavo has been named Executive Chef at The Grill at Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort, one of Tucson’s favorite dining destinations. In his new role, the 28-year-old Executive Chef Scavo will blend his own award winning talents with the already highly acclaimed culinary style of The Grill. The addition of The Grill to Chef Scavo’s “plate” of responsibilities with MaRKeT Restaurant Group is a nod to his abilities to create food that is approachable and innovative.
The announcement comes just following Scavo’s winning performance at the Iron Chef Tucson competition, held on Jan. 18, 2009. Chef Scavo won the title from Chef Albert Hall of Acacia Restaurant, the competition’s past 2007 and 2008 winner.
Scavo is Corporate Chef, as well as an owner, with the MaRKeT Restaurant Group, which manages The Grill, Zona 78 and their newest restaurant concept, Harvest. Scavo will continue to oversee the MaRKeT Group’s uniquely inspired menus at each of the restaurants, retaining the fresh flavors of the seasonally-rotating cuisine with the use of local meats, vegetables and herbs, grown directly in Hacienda del Sol’s own garden.
Scavo will not be alone in maintaining the delectable cuisine of the hotel’s celebrated dining venue, Gold winner of Tucson Lifestyle Magazine’s Culinary Awards for “Best Grill,” “Best Sunday Brunch,” and “Best Special Occasion” restaurant.
Other internal personnel changes include the promotion of Stefan Rockel to General Manager of The Grill, and Chef Evan Phillips moving in to the position of Chef de Cuisine.
The Grill at Hacienda del Sol is open daily 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. Terraza del Sol, The Grill’s patio dining, hosts the same hours with live music Thursday through Sunday evenings. Live jazz piano can be heard in the Joesler Room every evening from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m., a lively addition to the dining experience at The Grill at Hacienda del Sol.
