THE LODGE AT TORREY PINES Congratulates Kelli Crosson Food & Beverage Rising Star Finalist Executive Chef Kelli Crosson brings a lifelong interest in real food to the culinary program at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. From her upbringing on a 40-acre citrus orchard to attending The French Culinary Institute

in New York, Crosson embraces a simplicity conveyed through dishes that allow fresh and naturally flavorful ingredients to

shine. She enjoys the rush of the kitchen as much as bringing people together to dine and enjoy each other’s company, and her focus extends beyond the kitchen line to ensure an impeccable guest experience.
