On this edition of Chef Spotlight, we sit down with Chef de Cuisine at Apache Clubhouse, Evan Gotanda.

Across Desert Mountain Club’s 10 restaurants and grills, every dish tells a story—crafted by the vision and talent of the chefs behind the scenes.

In this new series, we go beyond the plate to introduce the culinary leaders who define our dining experience. From their personal journeys to the inspirations that fuel their creativity, discover the passion behind every detail—and how Member feedback helps shape what’s served at your table.
