STORIES & MENUS of Coronado

If an iconic oceanfront hotel with a golden sand beach sounds

appealing when it comes time to select a spot for your next meeting

or event, Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton, is just

the place for an inDELible experience. We think you’ll agree that

Coronado is its own special place, an easy drive across the bridge

from downtown San Diego. Since 1888, The Del has been an oasis

by the sea and a treasured destination with an abundance of unique

settings and incredible things to do. With the Pacific and private Del

Beach out front, we have endless choices for recreation from surfing,

paddleboarding and yachting, to clambakes, beer tastings and roasting

s’mores under the stars. Or you can cruise Coronado on a bike, shop

the boutiques or play a round of seaside golf. We will make sure you

enjoy the best of what our charming town has to offer.

We are excited to share this issue of FLAVOR with you, so you

can meet our chefs and hear their stories. Peruse our new menus

that showcase the bounty of seafood and farm-fresh produce that we

have access to here in sunny San Diego. Our chefs have also shared

their choices of what to taste, explore, engage and toast, which will

enhance any visit to The Del and Coronado.

We like to think of FLAVOR as your guide to our locally

inspired food and drink menus, which feature the best of San Diego’s

cuisine, craft brews, wines and spirits. We promise we will create

an unforgettable experience for your clients or attendees that will

inspire ideas and action, friendship and lifelong memories.

We hope you enjoy meeting our culinary team, both

professionally and personally, and together we can curate an event or

group meeting like no other at Hotel del Coronado.

WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEL I WANTED TO GET TO KNOW THE REGION AND UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL CUISINE’S INFLUENCES. The incredible geographic location next to the Pacific, close to Baja and surrounded by great Southern California farms makes inspiration easy.

San Diego used to be the tuna capital of the world and the fishermen

still go out daily and bring back a bounty of fresh fish. We have a diverse

range of dining options. You can find everything from high-end sea-to-

table restaurants to simple food trucks. I love going off-the-beaten path

and trying the local food trucks. They have really opened my eyes and

helped me understand the culture behind the food.

I‘ve also been fortunate to explore Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe wine

country, which is only an hour and a half away from us. For me it’s

fascinating what’s happening in that region – the boldness of flavors and

creative approach to food presentation and menus. I learned about new

spices and how to make tamales and handmade masa for different types

of tortillas and tacos. I brought some of that energy back with me along

with a new understanding of how much Mexico influences San Diego’s

cuisine and flavors.

At The Del, my job is to connect all the dots and build a team of diverse

individuals. My leadership style is to surround myself with people from

different backgrounds and then find the right spot where they can thrive,

be at their best and deliver great products to our guests. That’s what

it’s all about. I am fortunate to be working with Chefs Patrick, Brandon,

Daniel, Yazmine and Michel. Sometimes I have to pinch myself when

I realize that I work here. Between the premier seaside setting, the

hotel’s incredible history and my team, I truly feel fortunate to be in this

position. We’ve just started an amazing transformation of this

131-year-old hotel to make it relevant for another 131 years.

We are adding venues and updating the look and feel of the property.

It’s an exciting time to be at The Del.

Inspired by the Sea and Baja EXECUTIVE CHEF STEFAN PEROUTKA

A native of Austria and classically trained

at the Salzburg Hospitality and Culinary

School, Chef Stefan Peroutka earned his

chops as executive sous chef of Aureole,

the Michelin-starred restaurant at the

Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las

Vegas. During this time, he was invited to

join the prestigious Les Amis d’Escoffier

Society of Las Vegas. After serving as

executive banquet chef of The Venetian

and The Palazzo Las Vegas, he landed at

the legendary Del. Peroutka oversees the

resort’s wide range of culinary offerings,

manages operations for all on-property

restaurants, staff, banquet and catering

events, food and wine purchasing, dining

presentation and service and more.

With inspiration from his world travels,

connections to great farms in San Diego

and The Del’s proximity to the ocean and

Mexico’s border, Peroutka’s cuisine reflects

Southern California coastal living with Baja

flair. When not in the kitchen, Peroutka

is an avid cyclist and mountain biker. He

competes regularly in road races, century

rides and cross cycling events.

WALK BACK IN TIME

Speakeasies have popped up all over San Diego as portals to the past and places

to enjoy Prohibition-style cocktails. Let us set the stage and design a speakeasy

where your group can sip Sazeracs and Sidecars and have some good old-fashioned

fun. But just how old-fashioned is it?

In 1880, James E. Pepper, bartender and esteemed bourbon aristocrat, was said to

have invented the drink in Louisville, Kentucky, before he brought the recipe to

the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. And the rest is history, as they say.

CHEERS TO SOCIAL IMPACT

Memorable wines and meaningful

experiences are a great pairing.

Every time you order ONEHOPE’S

sparkling brut, rosé or pinot noir,

part of the proceeds go to The Del’s

designated charities which support

school gardens, ovarian cancer and

Alzheimer’s research. Since its

launch in 2007, the philanthropic

Napa Valley winery ONEHOPE has

distributed more than $4.8 million

to a variety of important causes.
