About Me

After completing his AAS in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, Chef Jason Cote spent 16 years traveling the country, honing his skills and gaining experience—from cooking for seaside resorts on the rocky coast of his hometown, Kennebunkport Maine, to catering for big-budget feature films in California and working as a personal chef on a yacht off the coast of Florida. Upon moving to Charleston, Jason held positions with several prestigious restaurants, including Magnolias and the Kiawah Island Beach Club, before joining the resort’s culinary team in 2008. During his time here, Jason has been instrumental in transforming a lunch-only burger restaurant into our acclaimed Cherrywood BBQ & Ale House. Jason also held positions as chef de cuisine of Jasmine Porch at The Sanctuary and executive sous chef of the Villa Resort before being named executive chef. His passion for food and quality continues to contribute to the resort’s culinary success.
