Since the age of four, Chef Bill Osloond has been intrigued by cooking. As he watched generations of family members prepare everything from scratch, he cultivated a passion for all things culinary. He started his career in his hometown of Deadwood, SD at Jake’s Fine Dining owned by Kevin Costner, honing the initial skills needed for a solid culinary foundation. He would go on to attend Culinary school in Denver where he worked his way up to a Sous Chef at Mel’s Bar & Grill, a fine dining Denver staple. While in Denver he would also serve as Executive Sous Chef at Elway’s Steakhouse, learning the art of aging and butchery at this classic award-winning steak house. That experience later helped him develop a brand of prime beef called Original Pinnacle Prime. As his career blossomed he became Executive Chef of The Boulder Chophouse and earned a feature article in Bon Appetite magazine. Later Bill moved to the entertainment industry in Kansas City where he oversaw twelve different kitchens and developed several beers. Now his love of the outdoors and the Ozarks Mountains, influences his dishes at America’s Premier Wilderness Resort, Big Cedar Lodge.
